So you're saying that you downloaded the zip file and extracted it and 
opened the odp file and it crashed LibreOffice? I think I created the 
presentation in LibreOffice 3.5 (although I'm not positive) and last 
time I tried to extract the files and open the odp file it worked fine...

I always assumed that this was a native feature to odp and would not 
work properly in ppt format. When I open the ppt version it does not 
work properly, and yes the pdf just shows the OLE icon because a pdf 
isn't dynamic enough to handle something like that.

You're right, I justed tried to open it in LibreOffice 4 and it doesn't 
crash but the embedded pdf's do not load either... I'll have to try it 
on another computer with an older version of LibreOffice but I assure 
you it worked before and I was even able to extract the zip and open it 
on multiple computers running similar versions of LibreOffice so it must 
be some sort of regression bug...

Honestly, I didn't even pay attention that the CC license was even there 
:). That was obviously put there by the LibreOffice guy who made the 
template and posted it to the LibreOffice Templates website...

So I guess if that means it needs to be attributed then that is fine, I 
just didn't want someone to alter it significantly and leave the parts 
in that says 'Jordan Catholic School' and 'Presented By Aaron Johnson' 
but really it's not even that big of a deal...
