Jason, This and other questions about appropriate ways to redistribute Apache OpenOffice inside or bundled with another product should be addressed to priv...@openoffice.apache.org for private discussion of your specific case.
While it is generally possible to do what you propose, as toki says, there are trademark considerations that must be dealt with as part of obtaining approval by the Apache OpenOffice project for use of AOO marks based on how the software is incorporated and identified as a component of your delivered product. Please submit your question to the private@ address for further discussion. There are a few things to be clarified with you. (Note: the private@ list must be used. Do not respond to me directly.) - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason McMahon [mailto:jmcma...@adwin.com] > Sent: Monday, July 11, 2016 00:20 > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Legality of use question > > Hello, > > I wish to ask a legal question regarding the packaging of your product > within one of our products.
