The non-portable version of OpenOffice - the one from www.openoffice.org - can be freely distributed provided you meet the terms of the licence. You can read the licence at <www.*openoffice*.org/*license*.html>. For more information about distributing and marketing OpenOffice, please go to < http://marketing.openoffice.org/>. The portable version of OpenOffice belongs to Portableapps and you must discuss distribution with them. They are at <www.portableapps.com>. Note that the two versions are different. The OpenOffice.org version for Windows cannot run from a USB key or similar device as it requires entries in the Registry. Portableapps.com have changed the software to allow it to be executed in this way. Under the terms of the licence anyone may change OpenOffice provided they meet the terms of the licence. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org
