Almost.  StarOffice was/is the Sun product, which became open sourced. 
When it became open sourced, certain features / programs incorporated in
it could not be open sourced because they were proprietary to other
companies.

OpenOffice is the ongoing development of the StarOffice open source
project, and they are, to some extent, writing or finding replacements
for the stuff that could not be incorporated when StarOffice became open
sourced.

I think, but am not sure, that StarOffice also continues to be developed
as an open source project.

I've think I've heard more people expressing a preference for OpenOffice
than vice versa.
