According to, http://lwn.net, Linux Weekly News:

No more free StarOffice downloads. Linux users have long been accustomed to 
being able to download the StarOffice suite for free. It is one of the best 
deals out there: a complex, highly functional office suite which can be had 
for the price of a download. Seemingly, the deal was a little too good; the 
word has now slipped out that StarOffice 6.0 will be a proprietary product. 
At least for some operating systems; the Solaris version will remain free 
(of charge).

There's always OpenOffice... in the Contribs, I think.
