Even apache openoffice is using SourceForge for their downloads. There are quite a lot of s/w there at this moment.

OpenOffice has not been relevant for a while; development has moved to LibreOffice. See https://lwn.net/Articles/637735/

They're distributing LibreOffice now too, presumably without bothering to ask for the permission of the actual developers.

They technically don't need permission to perform the redistribution, seeing as LibreOffice is FOSS and distribution of software is permitted.

However, they do need permission to claim to be representatives of the LibreOffice developers.

:) Agree on that ! [Have not used any office in a while now - Markdowns have been sufficient]
