No need for software audits, for keeping invoices for years, no worry about ending up in court because you misread some small print in a license agreement.Īs part of a community dedicated to free software, we also value your freedom of choice. For people responsible for a number of computers - from just a few in a small business, hundreds in a school, thousands in a corporation - this is a huge weight off the mind. It means you never need worry again whether your software is legal, or whether it will expire some day. However, a free software license means much more than a one-off cost saving.

More people use OpenOffice as a result of personal recommendation than any other route. Please help us by telling people about Apache OpenOffice, and if you can, pass them on a copy. The OpenOffice community are delighted if you find our software of use. Furthermore, the open-source license used by OpenOffice means this freedom can never be taken away. But thanks to contributions of time and money, from individuals and companies (large and small), OpenOffice is free for you to use today. It’s hard to believe that high quality, easy to use software like Apache OpenOffice can really be free. You may use OpenOffice for any purpose without restriction: private, educational, public administration, commercial… Free, really free. That means you are free to download it, free to install it on as many PCs as you like, free to pass copies to as many people as you like.
