One major advantage of OpenOffice is that it is open source and that the license allows you to use and install it as often you want. Once you have downloaded OpenOffice you can share it with as many other people as you like or install it on as many computers as you need. No limits!
The project likes to count downloads because high
download numbers are our motivation and if you want they are the indirect payment
for all the volunteers. But we are also happy if you share your
download with many other people or inside your company. If you do so
please share your success stories of bigger deployments with us and we
are happy to share your experience via our blog here. Keep in mind that
sharing your experience, your success with other users in the community
is also one kind of contribution to help the eco-system around
OpenOffice growing.
