Depending upon exactly what those usage charges are for, the LGPL may
not prohibit them.
The only permissible charges are those for providing you with a copy,
The LGPL allows for one to charge for "support. Nor does require that
the executable be sold/distributed for a nominal cost.
This is how, and why some organizations have a per seat/per year
charge for OOo.
Now wondering if the eBay vendor with a "buy it now" price of US$5,000
for OOo is still distributing it from there.
I wasn't referring to support and I don't recall the OP mentioning it.
It sounded like he paid for the use of OpenOffice for only 3 years.
