This one is not using the OOo logo, just showing a screen shot and nominative use (IMHO) of "Open Office". Some odd claims, like saying Draw is "comparable to Microsoft Visio". At the end of their description they say: "eBay Staff: We are an authorized community distributor of this software. We are authorized to distribute this software by the Intellectual Property Owner. This software is licensed under the GNU General Public License and Lesser General Public License (GPL & LGPL). No copyrights have been violated and our listing is in compliance with eBay rules and policies." Not sure what "authorized community distributor" means. But they could certainly argue that the license provides sufficient authorization. In any case, I don't see a problem here. But since this issue comes up with some regularity, I'll write up an FAQ that we can refer users to, -Rob > I reported the item already, hope you can put this guy in his place. > Leeching off the devs/contributes. > > -Chris
