www.openoffice.org/license.html contains the license under which OOo operates. Please read it. When you do, you will see that you can use OpenOffice.org in your organization. It should also be clear that you can provide CD's of this program for any of your employees who would like to have it running on their home computers. You are legally allowed to charge for this if you so desire.
