Can I introduce you to _The Software Alliance_?

If they decide to audit your organization, you absolutely have to prove
beyond any shadow of doubt that your copy of Apache OpenOffice was
legally obtained, and your usage of it is in accordance with the
license.(^1)

FWIW, that ">About >Help >License" states that any organization may
freely use it, does not satisfy their requirement that the organization
legally obtained the program.

^1: I _think_ it was the BSA that produced a report alleging how one can
infringe _The Apache License_ and _The GNU General Public License_ as a
user. I lost my copy with a hard drive failure, and no backups. (I was
backing up that drive, when it failed.)
