+ <title>(Draft)Apache OpenOffice Distributor Best Practices</title>
+</head>
+
+<body>
+
+ <h2>Purpose</h2>
+
+ <p>The Apache OpenOffice project, working with partners like
SourceForge, takes great pains to ensure that our users have a good experience
when they download
+ OpenOffice from the web. We want them to have access to the latest
version of OpenOffice, with a download that is free from corruption and
viruses, and that is exactly
+ what the OpenOffice project approved for release -- nothing more and
nothing less.</p>
+
+ <p>Of course, not all users have the bandwidth needed to reliably download
OpenOffice over
+ the internet. So 3rd party distributors, offering OpenOffice on CD ROM,
DVD ROM, USB memory sticks or other media, provide a useful service to the
community. We are glad
+ to encourage and support the efforts of distributors by listing their
contact information on our website.</p>
+
+ <p>However, we also desire that users who purchase OpenOffice on physical
media have a similar high-quality experience, receiving the latest version of
the software,
+ free of corruption and viruses, exactly as we approved it for release. So
in return for listing a distributor on our website, we require that they
publicly agree to adhear
+ to the following Distribution Best Practices.</p>
+
+ <h2>Distributor Best Practices</h2>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Offer the latest version of Apache OpenOffice. Older versions
lack features, bug fixes and may have security flaws.</li>
+ <li>Subscribe to the <a
href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#announce-mailing-list";>Apache
OpenOffice announcement mailing list</a> so
+ you are informed of new releases and patches.</li>
+ <li>Ensure that no file corruption or viruses are introduced in your
handling and packaging of Apache OpenOffice by verifying the <a
href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.1_checksums.html";>file
checksums</a>
+ (and not just sizes and dates). This should be verified on your
final product, e.g., the master ISO image.</li>
+ <li>Make it clear that you are charging for the media and </li>
+ <li>Do not suggest that the buyer is paying for support unless you
actually provide your own support, e.g., more than just pointing the user to
our community support forums.</li>
+ <li>Act in accordance with the <a
href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/";>Apache Trademark Policy.</a> In
particular, use of the Apache OpenOffice logo is
+ permitted on your website only when the www.openoffice.org website
is the target of a hyperlink. Use beyond that, such as on a CD label, requires
explicit permission, which
+ can be sought <a
href="https://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html";>per these
instructions.</a></li>
+ <li>Do not suggest that you are affiliated with or endorsed by the
Apache OpenOffice project.</li>
+ </ol>
