jhivacaville, Go to this website to download the latest version of the program, free. https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
As already mentioned the program is free. The message does go to all users, not to Apache foundation. This is not ridiculous. This is the support model for this program and many other open source programs. It is a different model than used by commercial software publishers. Everyone here is a volunteer providing free support to other users. Neither strong words, frustration or CAPITAL LETTERS will change that.
