So I made an account on this forum just for this,
I've been using OpenOffice on and off for a while and I wondered while installing a new version of windows today if there was any version on the store, to my surprise there was actually 3, all being sold at different prices (see attached).
I know that OpenOffice holds an LGPL v2 license, is it legal for these third parties to be selling this very same software as they please?

Apache OpenOffice is licensed under the Apache Software License 2.0.
I am not a lawyer.
Part 3 of the license here mentions selling the software (the WORK)
This random person says selling Apache licensed code is permitted.
