OOo and StarOffice share most of the code. OOo (from 2.0 beta 2) islicensed as LGPL. When you submit code for OOo, you're required to signthe JCA (Joint Copyright Assignment) which provides copyright also to Sun Microsystems, allowing them to do several things, including releasing a proprietary version of OOo under the StarOffice name.
Thanks for the information, João. :)
It's discouraging, though. Definitely NOT free software. :(I've spent my whole day translating OOo, and I'd much rather spend that time on free software. This is a dilemma for me, and surely for other free-software translators, too. Should we really be translating OOo?
