The procedure for using an OpenOffice trademark is outlined here:

This is indeed the generic procedure. But the "Book Cover" case is 
already covered in our FAQ, see 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#booktitle so James doesn't 
need an explicit authorization if he complies with the items listed 
there ("Apache Foo" must of course be replaced by "Apache OpenOffice", 
the official name of what we familiarly call "OpenOffice").


Regards,
  Andrea.
