There could be some freedom issues [1] with the version of 
OpenOffice.org you installed. I added a warning to the wiki page [2]. If 
someone want to look into this, that'd be great. It's entirely possible 
that there is no problem as long as you have the openoffice.org-fix 
package from the gNewSense repository installed.
