Hello
Is the Apache Open Office really free?
If things look to good to be true, they most likely are.
Will it work on Windows 10, ryzen 5 1400, 8 gig memory?

I don't recall that. Way back then, I was at IBM Canada, supporting
OS/2, Windows 95 and NT, with some DOS stuff thrown in too. With 16 bit
Windows, which includes everything up to Windows moron edition, but not
NT, 2000 etc., DOS was actually used for very little. Most of the
functionality of Windows came from Windows. I do recall that DR-DOS was
superior to MS-DOS in many ways and that Gary Kildall proved in court
that MS-DOS contained some "borrowed" CP/M code.

I don't know if it was ever publicly released, but Novel did beta test a
version of DrDOS that, when run with either WFWG or Win 3.0, gave the
setup the functional equivalent to Windows 95.

hello.
from readme file:
Is OpenOffice really free for any user?
OpenOffice is free for use by everybody. You may take this copy of
OpenOffice and install it on as many computers as you like, and use it
for any purpose you like (including commercial, government, public
administration and educational use). For further details see the
license text delivered together with OpenOffice or
http://www.openoffice.org/license.html
Why is OpenOffice free for any user?
You can use this copy of OpenOffice today free of charge because
individual contributors and corporate sponsors have designed,
developed, tested, translated, documented, supported, marketed, and
helped in many other ways to make OpenOffice what it is today - the
world's leading open-source office software.
If you appreciate their efforts, and would like to ensure Apache
OpenOffice continues into the future, please consider contributing to
the project - see http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html for
details on contributing time and
http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html for details on
donations. Everyone has a contribution to make.
hope that help, God bless you!

It costs nothing to try it. Be aware that while it is substantially functionally equivalent to MS Office, it is _NOT_ an MS Office clone and there can be a learning curve, especially if you wish to extend its functionality with macros, as the macro engine is completely different.

Yes it is free to use on as many computers as you wish. You can use it
for personal or business purposes. Yes, it runs on Windows 10.
Just make sure you download it from www.openoffice.org, as there are
some sites where they'll charge you for it or load it with crapware.
