Indeed - the openoffice.com site does exist and will sell you OpenOffice for $29 (and/or Microsoft Office if you want it). It seems to me that one of the tricks that OOo missed was registering web sites with names similar to its own, There are a number of sites with similar names which will sell you the product (without telling you it is available for free). So if you have been recommended OOo and can't quite remember the name of the web site, the chances are that you will end up paying for a version.
