Not all sales of OOo are necessarily unscrupulous or illegal; what counts is making the source available. We list, in fact, many sellers of OOo on CDROMs, and in some places, it costs a lot more to download than to buy a CDROM. (This indeed leads to the wholesale piracy we see: it's cheaper for many to buy an illicitly copied version of, say, MS Office, than to download OOo licitly.) -louis-- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
