Most FAQs: Questions 
Most FAQs: Answers Yes, you may use OpenOffice.org binaries for commercial use. Please refer to our download page.
No. The OpenOffice.org source license does not allow anyone to modify, repackage, or redistribute any version of Oracle Open Office / StarOffice, or any other commercial version of the OpenOffice.org source code without an assignment from the vendor. For Oracle Open Office / StarOffice, the vendor was Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems).
Yes. Our license, the LGPL, allows anyone to sell and otherwise distribute OpenOffice.org binaries (executable installation sets; the application people can use), provided that the source is always made available to all, either by link (to www.openoffice.org/) or by inclusion. If you are interested in selling CDROMs of OpenOffice.org or distributing it via OEM computers, please visit the CDROM and OEM projects.
OpenOffice.org has been translated and configured to at least 45 languages besides English. We list supported languages in our Native-Language Confederation projects page. These languages are also listed on the download pages.
Yes. You'll be glad to learn that Christof Pintaske has written an excellent font troubleshooting guide.
Yes. Our current limit is 10MB (ten megabytes). Attaching a file to an issue is a two-step procedure and is not obvious. You must first submit the issue or locate the issue to which you wish to attach the file. Then, you can add the file as an attachment to that issue.
Note: You cannot add OpenOffice.org files natively. They must be added as "binary" files. This is a temporary problem.
Hints: Reduce the size of your file as much as possible. And, if you are uploading an HTML document, be sure to compress it first (Zip or tar it), otherwise it gets corrupted when others try to download it.
