This site, like its competitors, thrives on _negative reviews_. Reviews
that might be objectively factual. Correcting the negative impression
that they leave, is part of the business model.

I don't know how a US based organization can obtain standing in England,
to file a lawsuit against another US based organization. :(
The reason for filing the lawsuit, would be to remove the misleading review.

On an equally dis-encouraging note, negative reviews crop up on a number
of sites, usually with even less apparent justification as this one,
but, as happened here, the review is for a completely different
product/service.

Countering the negative reviews, is an arduous process of education.

Right, but it's not the relatively knowledgeable user (of anything) that
falls for these scams. So I think it's a good idea to add a rebuttal so
that the average user won't fall for the same. Might be a good idea to
do a generic search engine sweep every other month to spot these. I know
it's like herding cats, but perhaps we can catch the the most blatant
ones & lop of their tails (figuratively speaking).

Re: Apache 4.1.1

[Steve Ahlers]

Frans,

Right-click or control-click on Openoffice icon follow the instructions in the 
pop-up window, you will only need to do this the first time you open the 
application.

Read up on Gatekeeper at the link below:

Any relatively knowledgable user of FLOSS would dispute this report in
no time. Just by the way this report is worded it clearly have no clue
how open source works or even present evidence of this from our
website.

Well, does this site have any good reputation? At a first look, the site 
itself seems a ripoff, meant to sell their "Reputation fixing" solutions 
to businesses...


As for the report, of course OpenOffice has nothing to do with these 
episodes; we blogged about it multiple times; 
http://s.apache.org/genuine-openoffice is the most relevant post.

Correct, it's not legal... and has nothing to do with Apache OpenOffice.
You've downloaded and installed ransomware on your computer.



Probably similar to these schemes:




I recommend that you disconnect your system from the internet & take
your computer to a local computer expert/service and get it cleaned. You
might also want to report to the IC3 (FBI):

Would Dearly Love to Register my OO.o Product...

[brad.jackson]

Hello All you lovely people at Apache


I have just downloaded and installed OO.o but cannot find any link or clickable 
to register it. I realise it really helps you chaps to know how many users you 
have and what not, and would like to offer you some personal data for free!


Could you send me a link or tell me where to look? I have searched but I’m 
looking for links in all the wrong places, as the old song goes.


Thankee muchly, death to Micro$oft, and Bright Blessings from the UK.


Cheers,


Brad Jackson.
