I'm not sure what version of StarOffice you're using, but I'm using the
one that StarDivision put out before Sun took them over. I read the
installation license and there is nothing in it that prohibits me from
installing it as I have.
Further, the workfiles are, by default, stored in
/home/andysocial/Office51/work, and not in any publicly accessible file
path. Perhaps there were some onerous changes made when Sun repackaged
it?
