Terms of use -- expired?

Post by Jan_J »

Hello,

Today evening I tried to read the Terms of Use document, being referred from the bottom of our main page as http://www.openoffice.org/terms_of_use
It seems the address has expired. I got 404.

Regards

Worked OK for me just now. If it happens again for you, clear your browser cache.

Works fine for me. For the record, there is a redirection (appears for a couple of seconds):

Nope still 404 for http://openoffice.org/terms_of_use

http://openoffice.org/license.html does work. Maybe my browser isn't picking up the redirect.

I'm not sure about the status of the website terms of use. I seem to recall that it was being reviewed or something.

http://openoffice.org/terms_of_use doesn't work with Safari, Opera, or Google Chrome on my Mac. Firefox works, redirecting the link to http://openoffice.org/license.html

Good catch. :super: Firefox and Chrome redirect to the Licenses page, which is, I think, irrelevant here, because it doesn't have anything to say about how you should behave here.

Interesting. I forgot to mention that I'm using Firefox.

:shock:
I just tried again and I get that 404! Using FF 37.0.1. Could it be my cache? I may have cleared it yesterday (after trying) for other reasons.
:crazy:

I checked the admin panel and I've not found any field for that. I fear it needs some access to the configuration file.

Indeed, same for me.
Haven't checked the mailing list, perhaps they did something on the servers.

My primary experience was on FF 37, but immediately I checked wget, curl and elinks. Still the same, also today.
