Well, then for now I'd say take the link in the current footer at the
forum and point it to:
http://www.openoffice.org/license.html

and be done with it.

The Privacy statement was linked to from the TOU page, if that link
isn't there any more, then so be it.

beyond that, I have a problem with calling anything on a public forum,
such as this, toxic - no one _has_ to take anything from it (the site)
for any purpose related to the normal functioning of the application.
