+1, I would add a line saying something:
In no case are such distributions allowed without the written consensus of
Apache OpenOffice.
That will make it easier to pursue a case, if someone just distributes. I
would also suggest, we add a link to the distribution guideline, so one can
claim "I did not know".

Hi,
from time to time there are requests to bundle OpenOffice with 3rd party
products. A typical case is that a publishing house wants to release a
commercial box in which they bundle an original version of Apache
OpenOffice with a handbook (either printed or electronic) and some goodies
like a pack of templates. As I'm expecting such cases will pop-up
frequently (mostly at private@, hence they're not too visible here), it
would be good to have some guidelines in place. I have drafted some, please
review and comment. The result is intended to be submitted as a proposal
here and should go on our website later.
Happy New Year

-----------------------------
=== Guidelines for redistributing (an original) Apache OpenOffice with 3rd
party bundles ===
1) You must solely use an unmodified binary version of Apache OpenOffice
that can be downloaded by anyone from http://www.openoffice.org/**
download/index.html <http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>. If
you build your own product from the Apache OpenOffice sources, then you
must give your product a different name that must not be confused with
Apache OpenOffice. Under certain circumstances, you may then use 'Powered
by Apache OpenOffice'. For details, please refer:
http://www.apache.org/**foundation/marks/faq/#**poweredby<http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#poweredby>
2) You must always use the proper name 'Apache OpenOffice x[.y[.z]]' (e.g.
3.4.1) for our product. IMPORTANT: Do NOT use 'Apache Open Office' or
'Apache OpenOffice.org' or 'OpenOffice' or 'Open Office' or
'OpenOffice.org' etc.
3) Do not use any additions to 'Apache OpenOffice x.y.z' with the title of
your bundle that imply that you are shipping a product which is superior to
Apache OpenOffice, e.g. you must not use a title like 'Apache OpenOffice
3.4.1 Professional'. You may rather use the title 'Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1'
with a subtitle like '{YOUR_BRAND} Professional Pack' because you have
added value to an original Apache OpenOffice.
4) If you want to use the Apache OpenOffice logo on your bundle, you must
solely use the original, unmodified Apache OpenOffice logo:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/**asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/**
content/images/AOO_logos/svg/**OOo_Website_v2_copy.svg<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/images/AOO_logos/svg/OOo_Website_v2_copy.svg>
5) You must attribute the Apache Software Foundation and it's trademarks
with all components of your bundle (e.g. Cover, Box, printed Book,
electronic book, CD/DVD etc.). A proper attribution is:
---
"Apache",[ the “Apache logo”,] "Apache OpenOffice", "OpenOffice" and the
“Apache OpenOffice logo” are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation (
http://www.apache.org)
---
For the detailed Apache Trademark Policy, please refer:
http://www.apache.org/**foundation/marks/<http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/>
6) You must make clear with all components of your bundle (e.g. Cover,
Box, printed Book, electronic book, CD/DVD etc.) that you are providing an
unmodified version of Apache OpenOffice with your bundle. A proper way to
do that it adding an informative statement like:
---
"Includes the original Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 as provided by the Apache
Software Foundation under Apache License Version 2 at
http://www.openoffice.org/**download/<http://www.openoffice.org/download/>
".
---
7) Your setup routine must clearly distinguish between installing Apache
OpenOffice and the additional products of your bundle.
8) There may be exceptions to the guidelines as above, but they must be
explicitly permitted by the Apache Software Foundation.
9) You must contact the Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee at
priv...@openoffice.apache.org before releasing your bundle so our
community is able to review it. Please keep in mind that these are just
guidelines and granting you the privilege to use 'Apache OpenOffice' with
your bundle is at the sole discretion of the Apache Software Foundation on
a case by case basis.
It wasn't altogether clear to me that the reference here was to the
trademark, rather than to the code.
Incorporating Jan's suggestion and mine:
" ... granting you the privilege to use 'Apache OpenOffice™' or other
ASF trademarks and logos with your bundle ... a case by case basis. In
no case is such labeling of distributions allowed without the written
consent of the ASF."
