If you include a copy (gzipped tar is best) of the sources, along with the
licenses, then pretty much all of your GPL responsibilities are handled
there.

IANAL, but this sounds like a non-commercial (re)distribution of the
standard OO.O
binary,  (in that your purpose is to enable people, not sell the software)
so I'm thinking  you should
be able to get away with simply pointing people at the OpenOffice.ORG
website for sources.
  (IANAL: If you want a real legal opinion, buy one from someone with a
license to sell them.)
