In places like 

http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/support
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/projects
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/contributing

are versions of

http://support.openoffice.org
http://projects.openoffice.org
http://contributing.openoffice.org

These have Oracle OOo policies and licenses along with www.openoffice.org.

I've noticed that some of the html is carrying PDL copyright statements. There 
will need to be attention to this by the PPMC no hurry, but it is related to 
the question of prior releases and what gets moved to apache-extras. The types 
of issues you are raising.

When we move development.openoffice.org the issue of old releases and url 
rewrites is more important.

I wish I had a little more time to explain today, but other things have my 
attention today.

Dave
