To Whom It May Concern:

I've been looking for an alternative to the (costly) Microsoft Office Suite
of products and I'm very impressed by the Apache Software Foundation's
vision and range of products. I'm trying also to be a conscientious user by
carefully reading your software licenses and FAQs before I download.
Perhaps this is an obvious question (certainly I can infer the answer from
your organization's manifestos), but I haven't found it stated explicitly
anywhere on your websites: does Open Office make any claims to the
copyrights of a work created with it? That is to say, if I wrote a
screenplay using Writer, do I retain full copyrights?

I've already read the Apache License 2.0 document, the license statement
for Open Office, as well as the FAQs on both pages and I understand the
rights pertaining to use of the software, but I don't see any mention of
copyrights for works created with it. Usually (as with Google Docs, for
example) there is a page listing Terms and Conditions that answers these
questions. Can you please direct me to that page? And may I suggest adding
it to the Open Office FAQs or License statement?

Thanks for your time,
