Unfortunately, there's nothing illegal about that. The sad part is that
some people are suckered into paying for something that's free.
However, there are some sites that sell a CD for a nominal amount and
provide a service for those who can't download OO. Those sites are fine.

However, the icons for the individual applications on the page have
twin gulls and look similar to the ones used in Open Office.
That may be co-incidence.

(dropping the "security" list as explained by Dave).
At times we can do something. The OpenOffice project owns and enforces a
number of trademarks. Due to the legal implications, this is often dealt
with in private, but we do enforce them.
In this case, the site does not mention OpenOffice anywhere and doesn't
use our trademarks (orb with gulls, logo...). Actually, we can't even be
sure that it sells OpenOffice; the license they describe is LGPL and is
not the current OpenOffice license.
Rick, did you discover this site as a "sponsored search result"
somewhere? If they bought keywords related to our trademarks we can do
something about it.
Refer to http://s.apache.org/genuine-openoffice for general information.
Regards,
Andrea.
