Dave, be that as it may, a party like Apple or Windows can still
make false claims that the software comes from an untrusted site
and thus prevent it's installation.
Alas, this is part of "software wars" and it will only get worse
unless legislators take steps to prevent it.

Matthias is the one who currently creates all of the Windows builds as a
volunteer. We are all volunteers and SourceForge has generously donated to our
community hosting for well over 250,000,000 million downloads for the last 8
years.
Our macOS builds support version 10.7 and greater. Apple has evolved their
Gatekeeper program over this time period. There are ways to get around this and
usually someone will point this out. Try looking at forums.openoffice.org.
Actually you should be concerned about malware from OpenOffice.de where the
windows installer and Linux repos are repackaged by the owner of that domain.
There are ways to verify that you are getting the correct package that involve
other tools. I’m away from desk, but others can answer that question.

Don has a very good point.
I think OpenOffice should stop using sourceforge.net because
sourceforge does NOT check to see if the software projects it
hosts are malware free.
In addition, Apple is invested in selling MS office ported to the MAC-OS.
So, I think Apple's code that rejects SW downloaded from sourceforge
is simply a protectionism against free software.
I hope that someone takes apple to court and files a huge class action
lawsuit.

Thanks--
But when I use this it transfers me to Source Forge.
My Mac says it is an unknown company and will not open it.
There are ways to get Mac to recognize this, but I checked this company and
fear malware.
Any other places to download, please?

Just try the official site:

Probably this is due to the Gatekeeper application that Apple is supplying
with your computer.

Hi--
When I tried downloading from Source Forge and SoftIonic, my Mac
wouldn't
allow because from an unrecognized source.
I looked up reviews from those sources and got some bad reviews.
Is there any other way I can download without risk, please?
