Hi,

submitted as http://bugs.debian.org/470521 initially:

--- snip ---
The Help | About text window displays the Debian text as,

  This product has been created by Debian based on OpenOffice.org.

There is a coma missing after Debian. It should read,

  This product has been created by Debian, based on OpenOffice.org.

Without the coma, at first glance it seems it was created by "Debian
based <what>?" :)
--- snip ---

Asking some people (and native speakers) on #debian-devel for their opinion
reveals that a) he is right and b) that "has been" should be "was":
14:17 < _rene_> can native english speakers have a look at #470521 and tell me 
                whether that's really a bug? For me it's a fine sentence...
14:19 < broonie> _rene_: "This product *was* created by Debian, based on 
                 OpenOffice.org"
14:19 < madduck> yeah, with the comma
14:19 < madduck> or even better
14:20 < broonie> At present it's not clear if the "based on openoffice.org" 
                 binds to Debian or binds to "This product"
14:20 < madduck> "This product was created by Debian; it [or: the code] is 
                 based on OpenOffice.org"
14:20 < _rene_> ok, thanks
