Old topic but this should be updated.
Could someone having the karma for the AOO Forum update the link?
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
I took the redirection from
"https://www.openoffice.org/terms_of_use.html", but your observation is
right.
I will change the redirection to "https://openoffice.apache.org/terms.html"
Regards, Matthias

Coming back to this (I mean, the redirection is correct as a solution,
but I wonder why this target): isn't it better to redirect to
https://openoffice.apache.org/terms.html
as per original suggestion? The link is not supposed to explain the
OpenOffice software license, but the terms of use of the website, so
https://openoffice.apache.org/terms.html seems more appropriate than
https://www.openoffice.org/license.html
Regards,
Andrea.

This is a bit problematic since it will likely require administrative
application access, which I don't have (I can of course obtain it
through command-line access, but since there is a workaround we won't
need it).

Now fixed at, e.g., https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ bottom left.
Those with access can see the relevant commits here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/machines/vms/ooo-forums.apache.org/

Andrea.

Until the link is fixed I activated the redirection.
I would also like to see the ASF logo updated in the forums...

Good catch, I remember it was discussed a while ago but had missed that there was a glitch in the link.
Of course, it would be better if the link could be updated to the good one directly (https://www.openoffice.org/license.html).
Let's wait for someone who can do that (Andrea?).
Thanks,
Hagar

Until someone fixes the link in the forum I can enable a redirection...
But maybe it should better be https://www.openoffice.org/license.html ?
There is already a redirection from 2012
https://www.openoffice.org/terms_of_use.html but it is not working,
because the forum links to "/terms_of_use" instead to "/terms_of_use.html".
