Can someone verify this?
http://studio-no.net/openoffice.php seems to be selling OOo, not illegal
I know. Is this something like PortableApps?

I did not think of that. I downloaded the file from their link and
looks like the right size for the Windows install, though an older
version. I do not have a Windows machine handy right now to see if it
will do an install.

Thanks for watching out.
Maybe there is a dependency from where, how, etc. you try to download.
However, it doesn't seen to be a general thing.
Please let the users know:
The only official download location is:
http://download.openoffice.org

Thanks, Marcus.
A user posted the link in the discuss@ list, since I do not understand
the language used I just though I would ask. The users says that the
installer ask for 40 kr to download the install. The file downloaded is
665kb in size. I will forward your post to the user.

Let me try:
- I've downloaded the file without that someone wanted to have money or
a registration from me.
- The mirror "http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/" where the download comes from is
an officoal mirror of the (old) OOo project.
- The MD5 sum is exactly the same as if you would download the file from
here:
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/localized/nb/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install-wJRE_nb.exe
- The text says: "Lisens: Freeware"
OK, it's not the correct license but you can get indeed the software for
free.
At the moment I don't see a problem.

To me it looks like it uses the download mirrors and is free. I don't see any selling.
In Chrome on a Mac it offers to download a Windows 3.3.0 install from mirrors.fe.up.pt - so it is not perfect.
