The important difference between selling a CD with OpenOffice and selling the URL to download it is surely not between legality and illegality but between honesty and dishonesty.

If potential purchasers were told that the contents of the CD could be obtained without charge from the web, many would still purchase it. If potential purchasers of the route to download the software were told that they could obtain the software free and that they could probably easily discover the URL by themselves, few would purchase it.
