Press release - for release Midnight GMT May 2 2006.
One week after "World Intellectual Property Day", the OpenOffice.org
Marketing Project announces a new campaign: "Get legal - Get
OpenOffice.org". A new website - http://why.openoffice.org - explains
how to escape from Microsoft Office licence costs and compliance
worries - for good. Webmasters and bloggers worldwide are encouraged to
display the campaign banner to help promote the campaign.
2006 has seen proprietary software companies and their agencies
increase their efforts to stamp out illegal copies of their software.
Last week, the Business Software Alliance used "World Intellectual
Property Day" to announce a record reward for anyone informing against
illegal software in UK organisations. Microsoft acquired a company
specialising in detecting software installed on PCs. Microsoft also
announced its intention to extend its use of the internet to put piracy
detection software into copies of MS-Office on people's PCs.
For many users, this is a worrying development. Microsoft licences are
often complex, and it is easy to become non-compliant, especially as
the number of PCs in an organisation increases. Illegal copying has
proliferated in many developing countries, where foreign currency is
scarce and proprietary licence fees are simply unaffordable.
OpenOffice.org 2 offers a simple way out of the licence trap.
OpenOffice.org 2 is a free alternative to Microsoft Office products
such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Powerpoint.
OpenOffice.org 2 is released under an open-source licence: anyone may
use the software for any purpose (including commercial). Users are
encouraged to pass on copies to friends, family, students, employees,
citizens - anyone.
OpenOffice.org 2 uses files created by Microsoft Office equivalents.
Users need little or no retraining. Studies have shown that the costs
of migrating to OpenOffice.org 2 are minimal - a tenth of the cost of
migrating to the new Microsoft Office 2007.
No wonder a poll has shown 86% of users would prefer to try
OpenOffice.org 2 rather than buy Microsoft Office 2007.
Get freedom from licence worries - Get Legal - Get OpenOffice.org.

I don't think this is a showstopper. It's definately a bug, but not enough
to delay the release (IMHO).
