There has been a (formal?) respond from Sun.
I find some in my archives and it is from the first link (above):
""
In a statement, Sun spokeswoman May Petry called the patent protections
in the agreement with Microsoft "standard practice for any commercial
company."
She added, "Sun is strongly committed to OpenOffice.org and the
settlement with Microsoft doesn't undermine its continued commitment to
the community. Open source code is conventionally provided without
warranty and liability coverage, and OpenOffice.org is no different.
OpenOffice.org is unchanged and not disadvantaged by the settlement."
Although StarOffice incorporates advances developed by the OpenOffice
community, the settlement agreement protects StarOffice, along with
other Sun products, from patent-related litigation from Microsoft.
