The downloads on sourceforge are the ones that are created by the Apache OpenOffice project.
Matthias is the one who currently creates all of the Windows builds as a volunteer. We are all volunteers and SourceForge has generously donated to our community hosting for well over 250,000,000 million downloads for the last 8 years. Our macOS builds support version 10.7 and greater. Apple has evolved their Gatekeeper program over this time period. There are ways to get around this and usually someone will point this out. Try looking at forums.openoffice.org. Actually you should be concerned about malware from OpenOffice.de where the windows installer and Linux repos are repackaged by the owner of that domain. There are ways to verify that you are getting the correct package that involve other tools. I’m away from desk, but others can answer that question.
