Issue ID: 125872
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Genuine OpenOffice download hijacked by profiteers
Product: General
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: legal
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
There are regularly messages complaining of costly or spammed OpenOffice,
example
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg21460.html
I usually download Apache OpenOffice through http://openoffice.org and have
never had such problem.
But I am using AdBlock Edge as anti-spammer.
Today I tested this same address but after disconnecting AdBlockEdge.
Completely different view!
In the center of the SourceForge web page I see (translated from french) :
OpenOffice 2014
Install OpenOffice here
Update OpenOffice !
And a link that, when followed, provides another OpenOffice where the Terms and
conditions say:
1. Service Premium
FULLTIME NETWORKS LIMITED (...) Service costs will be 4.50Eur per code + price
of an sms.
The download of the genuine OpenOffice appears delayed, so the user may already
have clicked the "premium" OpenOffice.
I think Apache OpenOffice must not accept such a rip-off.
