Re: [libreoffice-users] Resale Rights

I was asked to forward this to the appropriate mailing list - Alfie I 
think you'll get a response. My understanding is a) technically yes, b) 
if it meets certain criteria including keeping our labeling and I 
believe letting people know that they can get it for free from the 
website, c) charging a nominal amount and likely d) don't add spyware to 
ruin our reputation.

That being said, you should receive an email from someone else at some 
point soon hopefully.


Best,
Joel
