Many vendors sell a CD for a nominal amount and provide a valuable service for those who cannot download OpenOffice. Others charge more and may offer other benefits. There are some, who charge for a download link and who should be avoided, as they are providing no value over what's available for free from www.openoffice.org. OpenOffice is available as a free download from www.openoffice.org and may be distributed to others. If someone is distributing OpenOffice, they are supposed to advise users that OpenOffice binaries and source are available from www.openoffice.org, as per the instructions on: http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/OEM_and_CD.html
