They also don’t do very well at respecting the Apache OpenOffice trademarks by using old or altered Logos. If they are repackaging the builds or doing their own builds then it can be doubtful that the consumer is getting a valid version or even which version is being sold. If these 2018 versions have 4.1.4 then users WILL WANT to download 4.1.5!
