But there are more ways of distribution than SourceForge. There are other mirrors and download possibilities. Magazines distribute AOO via optical media. You can get AOO from your neighbour. AOO is part of Free Software compilations like the PrOOoBox. And so on ... . Because there is no permission or registration needed to share or distribute AOO, all figures are not really significant to identify the number of users. You can only say, that AOO has one of the largest number of users of all Free Software projects. > >> 4.)

If more releases are neccessary, there will be more. Kind regards Michael
