[discuss] OOo to relieve licensing headaches (was: Reason corporates ...)

I think more companies will be taking that approach, especially since BSA 
and probably FAST give the appearance to be working on behalf of MS and 
not any other closed source vendors:

Using OOo allows companies to keep the workstations stocked with packages, 
yet legal.

Simple case: my wife's ex-company has decided yesterday to check every 
computer for unpaid licences and remove all the illegal stuff (which includes

products, which includes OOo because OOo can deliver MS format document if 
necessary.
