Maybe (maybe not), but openoffice is LGPL, and no one can take that
away :-) I use openoffice and mozilla. not star office and netscape.

from www.openoffice.org FAQ:

   1. Can Sun ever take away the code?

 The simple answer to this is NO. Once code is released under the
 LGPL, it can never be taken away. Once LGPL, always LGPL. Sun has no
 plans to return to a closed-development model. Sun is subject to the
 same rules as the rest of the community, including giving back
 modifications under the LGPL (or a specification and reference
 implementation under the terms of the SISSL). Thus, Sun can never
 take away the code and the community's contributions to it. This
 code belongs to the community as guaranteed by the LGPL and the
 SISSL.
