Is this ad/spam ok?

See

I'm thinking it's not good to allow some and not others, but this looks useful and it's not masquerading as anything other than an advertisement.
Anyone other thoughts?

I wouldn't call it spam per se, it seems (on the face of it) to be useful, free and relevant to AOO.

+1. Seems rather genuine.

The general impression of the post is that it is a serious effort. However, when the only way to request more info is by way of e-mail, my alarm bells start to chime. Is this an attempt to harvest email addresses?
Also, while it is not explicitly stated either way, I get the impression that this is a tool you pay for, a library of proprietary binaries, not open source. Nothing wrong with that, I guess, but it should perhaps rather belong in the "paid support" section or a similar subsection of the forums.
The post could be quarantined while those quibbles are addressed. Should not take long if the poster responds. If he doesn't, I'd say it's not a legitimate posting.
