I realize that this is a really difficult concept to understand, but
SourceForce is treated as a known distributor of malware, and thus all
downloads from SourceForge _will_ fail.

The solution is to move Apache OpenOffice from SourceForge to a site
that is not known as a distributor of malware.
GitHub, for example, would be a good starting point.

At this stage of the game, I suspect that there is nothing, but nothing,
that Dice Holdings can do, to get SourceForge removed from the various
blacklists of known malware distributors.  (If I understood the page I
was looking it, SourceForge was added to yet another blocklist of known
malware distributors, last week.)

The issue isn't the integrity of the Apache OpenOffice download, but the
known lack of integrity of SourceForge.
