With Apache OpenOffice you get what you don't pay for
We've noticed a scam recently where people were fooled into paying a
3rd party website to download OpenOffice. But OpenOffice is free to
download from http://www.openoffice.org/.
You know this, of course. Anyone who has visited the website know
this. But many do not know this.
Can you help us educate the public that OpenOffice is free for everyone?

Looks like an error. I'm surprised it resolved correctly. It is corrected now.

This link (in the blog post too) works, but it isn't our canonical
download page. It works because http://www.download.openoffice.org and
http://www.openoffice.org are the same site.
Is there a reason for this, or should the blog post be updated to simply
suggest http://www.openoffice.org/download/ (the same link we publish on
the website)?
Regards,
Andrea.
