[Website] http://www.openoffice.org/download/legacy/index.html
I hope this is the right place to report this. There does not seem to
be a Bugzilla category for website content, and "Contact Us" only
refers to website technical issues.
http://www.openoffice.org/download/legacy/index.html
has the following sentences:
1) It's highly recommended not to use them but only when there is no
better choice.
2) OpenOffice.org is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
License v3 (LGPL v3).
==
1) does not read well, it should be something like:
"It's highly recommended not to use them *except* when there is no
better choice."
2) is very ambiguous. To what does "OpenOffice.org" refer? The
website? The phrase? Some legacy software?
Please can it be clarified?
Thanks.

The old software releases are meant.
Thanks for your hints, I've corrected the text.
