GPL does not include restrictions on sale - that would be a restriction on your freedom. The only requirement would be making available the source in the same way and for no greater cost. Given the code is pretty small, it could be included on the CD distro anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Robb Bloomfield To: suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com Sent: 6/9/03 9:57 AM Subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] re. staroffice
But better, why not join the OO.org project? Anyone can take part - very good education experience for say kids to contribute to say Quality Assurance or Marketing. They could, for example, press and sell their own OO.org CDs. Great focus for an after school IT club, Young Enterprise, Business Studies etc. Motivating too because they get to work on a real project that is world-wide and worthwhile. Good for international links as most of the lists are truly international. So you have scope in IT, Business, MFL as a minimum.
Is this actually allowed? My understanding was that money couldn't be made from distribution? And since that *is* the aim of at least Young Enterprise...? -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-help@suse.com

Just a nit pick, cos it's Monday, 5 days away from the weekend, and I've not had enough coffee yet, and I've no windows in my office to see the sun, and I've still not had enough coffee yet, and............ While I sit on the fence regarding top or bottom posting, (splinters in bum to prove it, could we please try to stick to one or the other within a single thread. Otherwise I'm going to get sea sick flicking up and down the emails trying to remember what people are talking about. Gary

There is an iso project currently developing for this very purpose as
part of the cd-rom project for OO.org.
