Problematic extensions
The official OpenOffice.org extensions repository offers many addons to extend OpenOffice.org with additional features.
While OpenOffice.org is free software, it has a policy of also listing proprietary extensions in with the free software ones.
With the purpose of fostering the development of fully-free alternatives, here is a list of the OpenOffice extensions that present some issue related to software freedom. This list can also serve as a resource for trying to fix the freedom issues of these extensions.
Please see Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List for the list of free software extensions, and Group:OpenOfficeExtensions for more information about the listing, how use it, and how to contribute.
Extensions are listed alphabetically.
