I bid on a "Open Office 2007 Professional Edition"CD on ebay. When I
received my disc, it was a writable disc that the seller had burned
the program to. She stated in her description that it was new. I have
not loaded on my computer, or even put it into my computer. So, I
don't know if there is a license agreement with this program or not.
What I want to know, 'is it legal for her to burn copies of your
program and sell them on ebay?' If not I will report her to ebay.
Please let me know.

1. There is no such thing as an Open Office "Pro" version from
OpenOffice.
2. It IS legal AS LONG AS the rules of the LGPL license are followed.
I don't recally anything there that would allow selling it as a "Pro" if
it's exactly the same thing as can be downloaded for free at oo.o.
3. If it were me, I'd contact the Seller and ask what makes it a "Pro"
version and what are the differences between his product and the free
product at OO.o?
4. If that wasn't satisfactory, I'd alert Ebay and include the response
you got if it didn't make sense to you, and ask them what's going on.
But that's just me. Lots of people are selling it for nominal fees, but
this one sounds a tad different.
What I find really annoying are the ones who sell a download link and
"support" and then point the user here for their paid support.
