Your product was recently recommended to me be a nice chap at PC

I am very tempted to download it. However, call me an old cynic, but
I keep asking people, why is the product free? What's in it for the
producers of the product? What am I missing?
In the case of OOo (which I suspect is a lot more Open Source than Free
Software), I'd expect that ethical motives are not at source of the decision
to free the source code.
why ? check out the license it is published under (especially after
sissl got dropped, even though that one also was approved) - it fits all
the points about freedom that is passed on to receiver.
