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. > > I don't share that view, but see no reason to keep repeating myself.
