*OpenOffice* (www.openoffice.org) and it's more-updated descendant
*LibreOffice* (www.libreoffice.org) are both free software no matter how
many copies you use.
A little history might be in order: Sun Microsystems, which created
*OpenOffice*, was bought by Oracle 2 years ago. Oracle had little use
for *OpenOffice*, so most of those involved in its development created a
new group (The Document Foundation) and used the then-current
*OpenOffice* code as the starting point for *LibreOffice*. Since then,
*LibreOffice* has continued to develop while *OpenOffice* has been in
limbo. Oracle eventually gave the *OpenOffice* code and trademark to
the Apache Foundation, which will probably resume development on
*OpenOffice* in the near future. But as things stand now, *LibreOffice*
is the more up-to-date product.
