Is it illegal to give out StarOffice 5.2?

<< < (2/2)

Calum:
i suspect that you yourself are not allowed to redistribute code unless the licence says you can. The GPL allows you to, i think you'll find that staroffice's does not. It will say that you can download it off Sun, or not at all i think.

Also, your linux CDs are illegal to copy for people if they contain any code where the licence does not allow you to copy it for people (pretty obvious but free doesn't mean freely distributable, that's another reason the GPl was started too)
