Exactly where? Because I can't find anywhere to do that on that page. I click ”Get it now. FREE” and a new idiot page pops up with a ”Download Now” button and the text ”$90.00” above it. Above that the text ”Download the ODF Plugin now” is present but unclickable. So the ODF plugin is not free anymore…?
