Even if I think I'm quite familiar as well with the product as with the
community, I didn't know about this change and therefore didn't register
all my versions (since OOo 1.0).

Whom to address to modify the wording (and perhaps add a one sentence
explanation as you did here?)

How about under "Register Now" providing suboptions where we can "Register
User & Copy" or just "Register Copy"?

Under "Register Copy" provide "New Installation" and "Upgrade Installation",
both of which would require nothing additional beyond the email address
originally used for "Register User & Copy".

I hope that this is the right LIST; I can't think of anywhere more
appropriate.

Having just installed 3.1.1 I was confronted, as in previous versions,
by the registration dialogue box containing 3 alternatives:
Register now
Register later
Don't register

It would be nice to have a fourth alternative:
Already registered
for obvious reasons. Saying I don't want to register doesn't have the
same feel to it as saying I am already registered. :-)

Isn't it simply time that we just got rid of this from the start-up
entirely ? What useful purpose does it currently serve.

Fine - I tried this evening, but am confronted with the 35 questions
long questionaire. Not what I want to do with every version I install :-)

It was discussed at one of the UX lists.
But remarks about non logic text for users were not picked up...
I have the impression that the intention was just to make it less easy
to skip registration.

There is no requirement to complete the questionnaire. Just skip it, the
registration is already completed. 8-)
