I have difficulty answering this.  You can follow the OO.o Help link to 
register to find out.

While all of this is certainly true, Oracle has made it necessary to do 
what they call 'create an account' to register. And the web site is 
difficult to navigate, in the way I describe.

My inquiry is not into the necessity of registration. I am asking 
whether the benefit to the community of users registering are sufficient 
for me to fight the barrier I perceive at the Oracle web site.

Remember, I've been using OO.o and registering every update and every 
reinstallation with SUN since 1.1. This is the first real problem I have 
had.

I'm not disposed to fight an anal web site to register when the reward 
to the community is slight for the effort.

Registering should be EASY if there is any benefit to the community or 
to Oracle. I was not.
