What do you mean by "coating"?
I mean that I think StarOffice adds things (like other librairies, or
templates or dictionaries).
But now that I think about it, since SUN holds the copyright to the
code it would be actually possible for SUN to make modifications to
the code without releasing it and that may well happen in StarOffice.
So, anyway, StarOffice/OpenOffice are a specific pair because they are
fully "owned" by SUN. While anything else is not.
Sorry for being unclear in the first reply.
