Re: [libreoffice-users] Resale Rights

Hi :)
I think that depends on who is involved in the community of the
product.  If all the work has been done by a single company or
partnership or person then i figure that they deserve to earn money
from that.  If they have been generous enough to GPL the software then
updates and upgrades from the community might be morally awkward to
charge for unless a decent proportion of that money goes back into
developing the community.  If the community is providing user-support,
marketing, documentation and stuff like that then it might be good to
see the community benefiting from that a bit too.  I think the
important thing is that people have free access to the code
Regards from
Tom :)
