The terms of the OpenSource license that Openoffice.org is released under means it can pretty much be used on any computer for any purpose. The restrictions in the license apply more to programmers than users. Documentation on the website is released under a different license - both are discussed here: http://www.openoffice.org/license.html
The copyright for the program is vested with Oracle (many webpages and documents online still say Sun Microsystems - Sun was bought by Oracle). Every programmer has given joint copyright of their individual contribution to Oracle under the terms of the Sun Contributor Agreement. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Sun_Contributor_Agreement http://www.openoffice.org/copyright/copyrightapproved.html So if it is a copyright issue talk to Oracle. Their website www.oracle.com is down as i write but states: "To contact Oracle Corporate Headquarters from anywhere in the world: 1.650.506.7000." Effectively we (as users) like the advertising you would bring as long as your TV program isn't porn or anything else that may bring OpenOffice.org or major sponsoring companies (Oracle) into disrepute. The website project would probably love to hear of its use for the news webpage. http://website.openoffice.org/ http://www.openoffice.org/news/ Hope that helps On Tuesday 27 July 2010 13:30, Joyce McPherson wrote: > Thanks James, I was having trouble locating someone at OpenOffice to speak > to so I thought I would try this. > > Thanks again. > Joyce > > On 2010-07-26, at 9:18 PM, James Knott wrote: > > Joyce McPherson wrote: > >> We would like to use your software on a computer on our series > >> "warehouse 13" please let me know asap if this will be possible.
