Hello Jeongkyu, The problem is a legal problem. Since Sun is a US company, StarOffice and OOo alike (since Sun commits engineers to it) cannot even distribute code to NK. There are a lot of international sanctions on NK and embargo + export prohibitions are only some of them. In this I feel that Sun engineers are a bit embarassed in phrasing out an official explanation, but E. Rathe offered a valid answer imho. In this context, hosting the problematic patches on a separate (non official) server may be the only solution, albeit tedious and difficult, unless sanctions against NK are cancelled and abridged. Let me know if you need any help.
