Hello Faith, I see the listing here: http://www.filepuma.com/download/openoffice.org_3.4-767/ Is that the right listing? If so, I'd like to suggest some corrections: 1) The name of the product is "Apache OpenOffice", not OpenOffice.org. (This is a new change, starting with the 3.4 release. 2) The license is "Apache License 2.0". It is not "freeware". Does your website make that distinction, between freeware and open source? Strictly speaking, "freeware" is only a statement about the initial cost, that the software is available for free download. But many freeware products ask for payment, either after a period of time, or to unlock advanced features. Open source software does not do that. It is free to use, copy, redistribute, etc. Open source software also comes with the source code of the application, allowing programmers to study, modify and enhance the application. Freeware does not. 3) The publisher should be "Apache Software Foundation", not OpenOffice.org. This is also a new change starting with our 3.4 release. > Filepuma.com is a website for providing the simplest method of downloading > the newest versions of the best software, and we are not focusing on quantity > but quality.
