[QUOTE="bhanson, post: 137199"] OpenOffice/NeoOffice is [B]not[/B] freeware. Freeware means "free as in beer" while Open Source means "free as in speech". There's a big difference. Open Source means you are freely able to distribute, modify, and copy said software until your hearts content. Freeware is usually commercially developed software for which you can't modify it, nor view the source code. I personally use NeoOffice on my Mac, not only because (in my opinion) it is a better product than Microsoft Office, but I like to support the Open Source communities as much as I can. [/QUOTE]
