Has netcraft confirmed it? ;-).

FWIW, we are in no shortage of requests to use the
OpenOffice.org brand so I suspect we will keep using
both names for a while.

Adding the Apache name to the brand is the standard Apache
policy and in the ports tree we already have more that
50 ports for apache projects using the "Apache" name.

I personally prefer shorter names (I am lazy typing paths)
and PKGNAMEPREFIX= apache- is sufficient to solve the
Apache naming requirement but this port is clearly Maho's
prerogative and if he says the name is apache-openoffice,
then so be it.

Pedro.
