I think open office comes preinstalled with ununtu right?
Yes, as it does with almost all major Linux distributions.
Did the developers that created ubuntu create open office
No, but the Ubuntu developers modified the OOo (OpenOffice.org) code for the edition they distribute. See OOo history:
http://about.openoffice.org/index.html#history
or did you guys make some contract that allows ubuntu to provide open office in coordination with their operating system?
No, OOo is FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and anyone is allowed to modify and/or distribute it under the terms of the LGPL.

do you guys have any other freeware besides open office?
No. Hope this helps. Dave -- This is a mailing list which exists to support users of OpenOffice.org All answers are given by other users who volunteer their time.
