OpenSource does not mean to sell things that do not exist and by
this potentially bring harm to the reputation of the the concerned
OpenSource project.

Dave removed the offer from the website. Until he removed it, he was
actually offering and taking orders for LibreOffice 3.3.0 on a DVD,
although this product does not exist yet. That´s what made me worry.

Since he removed his offer, there is no need for further discussion.

This all is not meant to critisize someone for his level of
activity, but to prevent wrong behavior, of which nobody is immune.
The people who stepped in here, all show a very high level of
contribution to the project. However, intervening against failures
doesn´t need justification by "high activity".
