James, IIRC, AOO once did pop up a message about donating to the cause before downloading. It could be ignored or bypassed, but it could be confusing for some users. I now see that that message, since going to Sourceforge, is no longer there. That could be what the OP is talking about. Girvi

You don't have to pay for OpenOffice. It's a free download from www.openoffice.org. I don't know who you paid for OpenOffice, but there are many who charge for what is a free download. Some load it with "crapware" or claim this user mail list is "support". It's not. We're users, just like you.
