We are simply providing a link to an official OpenOffice.org mirror, we are not providing the download ourselves. Plus OpenOffice.org is Open Source and the full source code can be downloaded.

“OpenOffice.org was originally derived from StarOffice, an office suite developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999. The source code of the suite was released in July 2000 with the aim of reducing the dominant market share of Microsoft Office by providing a free, open and high-quality alternative; later versions of StarOffice are based upon OpenOffice.org with additional proprietary components.”

Sun Microsystems Inc. means this is NOT an Open Source program. It is based on openoffice.org so get it from openoffice.org and not here.
