Now the problem is, Divx is free, and Open Ofice is definitely free and opensource code. The problem is this big store made me pay 60 euros for these 2 free programs!! I understand is illegal to sell open software, especially if its offered for free. The Shop was PC City in C.C. Parque Corredor, in Madrid, Spain. Is there something that can be done? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ While that price is a bit steep, they've done nothing illegal, as they're entitled to charge for installing the software.  Did they say beforehand that they'd charge that much? --
