I believe the frame with release information is retrieved from SourceForge.
No, nothing from SourceForge appears on the openoffice.org domain. We
simply link to binary files provided by them.
All the JavaScript is custom and stored in SVN. People without
JavaScript see this notice:
---
Apache OpenOffice Downloads - Official Site
The browser seems to have JavaScript disabled. This technique is used
for showing the actual download link. If you want to download Apache
OpenOffice anyway, click this text to choose from the alternative
download webpage. You will have to navigate to the
version/binaries/language subfolder and and download the file named
Apache_OpenOffice_version_os_platform_package_language.ext. Our
apologies for the inconvenience.

Considering that we are in 2015 (I mean: people who browse without
Javascript are doing it deliberately and are having a non-standard
browsing experience on most sites), this is already more than enough.
The "click this text" above links to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/ (surprise!
this is where it comes from) and from there, without JavaScript, one can
indeed browse to the folder and download OpenOffice with a mostly
painless procedure (and no ads will be displayed).
Note: There's a typo ("and and") in the above text, I've just fixed it
in revision 1714258.

Andrea.
