Take a look at this guys selection:

With very few exceptions, the guy is profiteering off open source.
"digital download" - if that means a link to the official FREE server pool, then that is VERY wrong.

I know, you can do pretty much anything with open source that doesn't violate the GPL (or other licence as appropriate) terms, and a service such as putting onto CD for those without the download capacity would be understandable, but this is not.

The guy is also making a mockery of the multi-listing rules, by using varied (and inaccurate, as Openoffice is by version, not by year) descriptions.


I guess Openoffice in particular will have to add to their download pages - "if you paid someone for this link, you were robbed"

The only place you SHOULD be going for Openoffice is: OpenOffice.org: Home
