Note that the listed page is in no way associated with the ASF nor the
AOO podling, and as best I can tell is directly infringing on a number
of registered trademarks of the ASF. I will be sending the admins of
that website an email shortly demanding that that page and similar
fundraising pages are taken down, and that their attempts (as it seems
from that page) to create what I can only imagine would be called
OpenOffice.org 3.4 cease, and immediately start using a new,
non-infringing name.
At the ASF, our software is *always* free (as in no cost); the ASF will
*never* charge for either our source code our or project's software
product releases.
Any time you see someone stating or implying that you need to pay for
any ASF-hosted code you should be suspicious.

Hi all,
I've read on http://teamopenoffice.org/en/become-a-partner.html that
you could become a "Source Code Sponsor" with your named displayed in
OpenOffice.org 3.4 by paying EUR 5000.
Do you really thinks that this is a good idea? I think that will lower
the neutrality of the Apache Foundation as I before wasn't under the
impression that you could buy yourself into Apache software.
