No, it's a rather old OSX security feature. I think it goes back
to Mountain Lion.
Go to System Preferences and select the "Security and Privacy"
pane. Under the General tab, in the lower panel that says "Allow
apps downloaded from:" select "Anywhere." Put the pane away, and
install AOO normally. After you've finished, pull the preference
pane back up and change it back to "Mac App Store and identified developers."
N.B.: Don't forget to unlock the pane with the lock in the lower
left corner. Click the lock and enter your system password. Lock
it back when you've finished installing.
I will keep this email for future reference !!!
But surely this is unnecessarily complicated advice? Read the Apple
support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290 for details.
There is no point in going through the complicated process of
disabling Gatekeeper if you are going to re-enable it immediately
after. To override Gatekeeper individually for a particular
installation, use Control-click, as suggested in the article under
"How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it
from Gatekeeper".
Perhaps this info should be posted on the OO site.
It's in the Installation Guide at
http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html#gatekeeper
- but perhaps you'd want it more visible?
