OpenOffice.org is open source; dual LPGL & SISSL license
Sword Bible Software => this project?
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/index.jsp
that's also open source: GNU General Public License
AFAIK there's nothing illegal about selling either of those apps. See:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the
concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in
``free beer.''

I have a feeling these people are too canny to sell programs *illegally*
but hope springs eternal. . . ;)
