Thanks for information. I want to research eventuali to create non-profit organization in Bulgaria to support OpenOffice.org. I think that with such organization will be more easy of firms to make donations to us so we can make free CD, or hire some tranlaters for books or other stuff and etc. So, to whom I have to write to ask for permission to use this name: OpenOffice.org for Bulgarians Best regards -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Hristo Simeonov Hristov Leader of OpenOffice.org - Bulgaria
