Dear OpenOffice representative,
In this webside: http://www.officebestdeal.com/, are selling ( and I
did buy) a link to download your free programs renamed OpalOffice.
They said they are authorized to cahrge as your distributor. Is that
true??
Best Regards

No OOo representatives here, only users. This is a global mailing list;
please see: http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html for more information.
Regarding OpalOffice/officebestdeal.com: If you agree to pay for the
link then yes they can charge you - that is between you and them. In the
future you may wish to Google/Yahoo/websearch for programs prior to
agreeing to a download.
As for being an OOo distributor; they are not listed here:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom
But if they are following all of the OOo distribution policies &
licencing, then they can certainly resell OOo - anyone can if they
follow those. Distribution policy is listed here:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/distributors.html
and here

Ernesto: Skipping many details, I think the most relevant point is this:
Absolutely anyone is *allowed* to offer it for sale, at absolutely any
price; but they are also *required* to inform you that you can also get
it for free. And then it's your choice.
