Yes, It would be nice if they acknowledged OpenOffice.org. There is some mention of it. But its not a rip off. If they comply with the terms of the licence, etc, what they are doing is perfectly OK. It's Open Source software, after all. They probably give some reasonable value added for their £29. Perhaps we should all email them to congratulate them on their use of OO.o and suggest the acknowledge it more openly. Tony Pursell There is also the possibility that it will introduce teachers and pupils to OO.o, who may recognise it in the future as something they are familiar and comfortable with, and so want to use it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
