The fact that a program has to call home, to work correctly indicates one of the following:
1) The program is malware, designed to destroy your system;
2) The program is a trojan:
3) The advertising for the program is, at best, deliberately designed to deceive, mislead, and otherwise con the victim into using something that never was intended to meet their needs.

OOo already has a reputation for violating a11y. Do your really want to convince the world that OOo will_never_ be be in compliance with section 508 (USA) or the equivalent European standards?

As it is, an HR attorney can give corporate 100 000 reasons to not use OOo.

If anything, the version with Java should be the default, and the other version available only by playing "the Great Internet Hunt".
