macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Safari downloaded this file today at 4:50 PM from sourceforge.net

My only two choices are move to trash or cancel

How can I fix this?

You should search the forum or read the installation instructions before asking questions. There are easily 100 topics in the forum about this. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've answered this question. In the previous post's link, the section which adresses this is OS X and Gatekeeper. You have encountered a MacOS problem. Follow the instructions from Apple in a MacOS support article which is provided there. Or read Mac FAQ Q05/A05: The Gatekeeper won't let me run OpenOffice. How do I proceed?
