I see that in order to use the Mac version of OpenOffice I must install X11.  However, when I follow the instructions posted here

http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/faq/installing/X11.html

I get a message that clearly says that the software is licensed for evaluation use only, and that commercial or "production" use is prohibited.  Where can I get the fully-licensed version of X11 for Tiger?

Hello Jonathan,

I didn't know that the licence for X11 was prohibiting commercial or
'productiuon' use. AFAIK X11 is open source, and used as a windowing utility
by various open source programs like OOo and the Gimp. Where did you find
this restricting licence information?

Anyway, I wouldn't bother to use OOo under X11 anymore, since ther is a
'native' Aqua version  of OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 available. For the moment
it's still a release candidate (RC4), that is quite operational yet, but
next week or so the fully QA'ed official release will be made I suppose.
You can download the RC4 directly from the OpenOffice.org website (
www.openoffice.org),
if you're happy with the US English version (the site determines whether you
have a PPC or Intel Mac)
http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=macosxintelaqua&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0rc4from
or you can find other versions at GoodDay
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/

download the dmg and install as you would any other program on your Mac

welcome and good luck

        You don't tell us where you got the 'evaluation' version of X11 for  
OS X, but i'd be willing to bet that you downloaded X11 for Panther -  
this was somewhat of a public beta.  Look more closely here: http://
porting.openoffice.org/mac/faq/installing/X11.html#tiger . Tiger's  
X11 is not online anywhere, and is only installed from a Tiger  
Install or Restore disk.  Hopefully you still have it somewhere.

X11 is part of the OS X installation.
In later versions of OS X, it is at /Applications/Utilities/X11
However, I suggest using the version from here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/

        A word of caution is in order: the XQuartz that is available on  
MacOSforge is built with Leopard in mind.  I don't know whether it  
has ever been tested on Tiger [If somebody has tested that  
combination, i for one would like to know the results].

That version is for Leopard. The OP is using Tiger.

Hello Jonathan,

If you send to me, there's only us - if you send to the list, others may
benefit / help.
So usually, we send to the list, with a CC to the OP when s/he's not
subscribed to the list (like you).
