Greetings from Vermont, the Green Mountain State in the USA.
Three days ago, I sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], requesting
formal permission to sell OpenOffice.org CDs on ebaY.
I was confident that within hours I would see my email appearing here,
in this mailing list archive. But then, after several days of not being
able to find any reminiscent of it, I double-checked and discovered that
this mailing list's address is [email protected] - not
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (long live the tiny difference 'distribution' :)).
I now notice that OpenOffice.org's distribution web site says that email
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes directly to Alex Fisher. I am unsure
whether my email request to him is sufficient or whether I should post
it here, too. Could you please advise?
In the meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could clarify some
confusion I have in regard to the instructions in the following page:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/distributors.html
Bullet #6 states "Understand that you may still distribute
OpenOffice.org at any time. Even if you have not yet received a reply to
your email, you may still freely distribute the software."
However, to the best of my understanding, without explicit permission
from OpenOffice.org I can freely distribute the software only if I patch
the software to replace every occurrence of the phrase "OpenOffice.org".
This is not what I am interested in. I am interested in using the brand
"OpenOffice.org" along with the familiar logo(s). Can I still do that
even if I have not yet received a reply to my email?
Thank you,
Daniel from Software Candy LLC
