Today I wanted to check the openoffice site and Google presented me with this ad: openoffice.org-suite.com. Anybody know this site?
I believe this site is bogus - the perhaps offer the real openoffice, but seem to charge for it. Sign up is required for both support and download. I am happy to see many people and businesses using and distributing GNU software and supporting it. However, transparency is very important. To me, this site does not look transparent.
If this is true, just be warned. If they want to sell support, fine, but then be open about and give foremost credit to the current developers. They are not open about it and give only minimal credit. See quote from their website below.
