If you ask me (which you haven´t ;) this is a tempest in a teapot. Move along, nothing to see here. Which is exactly new about people selling ancient software on eBay??. In fact some might want to buy ancient software due to being a collector´s item etc. IE I bought an original version of Paint Shop Pro 5.0, released at the time of the Windows 98 release or thereabout. It turns out to be the best bitmap editor I´ve seen (for my needs), works well under WINE on Linux, and beinfg designed to run on Pentium I computers with 64-128MB of RAM, just flies in today´s hardware. Previously to that, I used Micrografx Picture Publisher 4.0 which I used for about a decade (16-bit windows 3.x app under 32-bit IBM OS/2). I don´t see Microsoft going after people selling Microsoft OS/2 1.2 on eBay or Windows 3.11 boxes or Windows 2000. Why should Apache waste time on this non-issue?. The only conceivable way Apache should be concerned is if someone labels it "the latest version of Open Office" and sells outdated versions instead. Is that the case here?.
