> Source Code Offered Via GNU General Public License and to Reside 
> at www.OpenOffice.org 

> PALO  ALTO, CA -- July 19, 2000 -- Today at the O'Reilly Open Source
> Convention in Monterey, California, Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced
> it  will  release  the  source  code  of its StarOffice[tm] Suite, a
> leading,  high  quality,  office  productivity  application software
> suite,  to  the  open  source community under the GNU General Public
> License  (GPL). Sun also announced OpenOffice.org will be formed and
> managed  by  Collab.Net and will serve as the coordination point for
> the  source  code, the definition of XML-based file formats, and the
> definition  of  language-independent  office application programming
> interfaces (APIs.)

> StarOffice  is the leading, full-featured productivity suite for all
> major   platforms,   including  Solaris[tm]  Operating  Environment,
> Windows, Linux, and, later in the year, the Macintosh. StarOffice 6,
> the  next version currently in development, will serve as the source
> code  base  for  OpenOffice.org.  With  the  upcoming  StarOffice  6
> technology,   the   next   generation   architecture   of   separate
> applications and componentized services will be introduced.

> "Sun's  open-sourcing  of  StarOffice  Suite  is  the single largest
> open-source  software  contribution in GPL history and it adds a key
> application   suite  to  the  open  source  portfolio,"  said  Marco
> Boerries,   vice   president  and  general  manager  of  webtop  and
> application  software  at  Sun Microsystems, Inc. "This announcement
> will  leverage  StarOffice  Suite's role as the leading productivity
> suite  for multiple platforms and will further increase our momentum
> as the only competitive alternative to other office suites. Sun will
> also  continue to develop and aggressively market future versions of
> StarOffice Suite, which will be based on OpenOffice.org."

> "Since innovation happens in many places, making the source code for
> StarOffice  Suite  available  will  enable the enormous community of
> developers to bring their expertise and energy to improve and expand
> the  reach  of this full-featured software suite. But OpenOffice.org
> is  much  more  than  just  source  code--it  also includes APIs and
> XML-file  formats.  This will allow developers to easily work across
> platforms and have a huge impact," said Boerries.
