Not really. Apart from the fact that in most instances of people on eBay selling OO.o (and some have actually written to Louis or myself asking permission to use the logos etc), apart from the fact that it is perfectly legal, it services those who for one reason or another (slow/bad Internet connection, per MB charges, etc) are unable to download the software. In addition, many of those sellers use the standard ISO image, which contains quite a few goodies (templates, documents, and the Java installers), so everyone comes out in front. > > Well, thanks for the link. I'll go forward this to Louis now. No need to really, since both he and I monitor this list... :) > > Travis Newton -- Alex Fisher Co-Lead, CD-ROM Project OpenOffice.org Marketing Community Contact Australia/New Zealand http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
