As I understand it, the way that OOo is licensed, if Sun were to be
bought out or driven out of business, OOo would simply end up being
forked and would continue on without Sun. It would probably end up
becoming a foundation with independent developers continuing its
development. OOo has grown and developed to the point where I don't
think that there is anything that M$ could do to stop it short of open
sourcing M$ Office.
If MS bought Sun they could tell 80% of OOo volunteers to work on
something else.
Cheers,
