Is this "working method" distributed in the form of a spreadsheet document, .e.g, an ODS or XLS file? Or is is it included in a modified version of the OpenOffice Calc program, where you have made source code modifications? In the first case, we do not make any claims on the original documents you create with the OpenOffice application. In the second case, the OpenOffice application is covered by the Apache License 2.0, which you can read here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html That license allows redistribution of the OpenOffice application, in source and/or binary form, including commercial redistribution. But you'll want to read the terms carefully, since there are some notice and other requirements.
