The problem with digital signatures is that the software is not

Since the use of digital signatures is not illegal in the country
that OOo is distributed from, there shouldn't be any legal issues in
providing a digital signature of OOo builds that are released.
That does not negate the issue in countries in which digital
signatures are not legal. However, failing to provide a method that
ensures the integrity of software, becuse a some countries have
publicly declared that they not only are not worthy of trust, but
have a complete lack of integrity, is irresponsible.

I believe that there are several issues filed regarding this & the
subject comes up on the general & dev lists. I can't recall what the
problem is, but seem to recall that it may be an issue with certificate
on the mirrors. Sun do provide digitally signed files (for those that
want them) for StarOffice - the the files are only available from their
servers.
