Looking good.  I would go with it.  It is certainly something that the =
Apache OpenOffice project can use to refer people too.

PS: A problem not for immediate solution: The link at the end about =
mailing lists is a little indirect.  On the other hand, linking to the =
page that lists all of the mailing list archives is not it either.  It =
appears that there is not a handy shallow link that finds individual =
projects and information about contacting them, accessing their lists, =
for end users who have questions.  Perhaps search engines will come to =
the rescue. =20

Since this question is coming up much much more now that we have AOO, I=20
figured we need an official URL and resource to point to when people =
ask.

   http://www.apache.org/free

Any glaring errors?  Anything I should add, or express more clearly?

The immediate driver for this as a memorable URL is the AOO podling,=20
since you clearly have the greatest need (with the huge non-technical=20
user base).  Is there anything in particular we should consider adding=20
to address AOO or OOo users specifically?
