Pardon me, but the SISSL license was retired by Sun as of September
2, 2005. From that point on, OOo was to be licensed only under LGPL.
Doesn't this also include OOo 1.1.5?
I do not think so. Obviously the number of changes to 1.1.5 should be limited
and therefore all of the relevant changes to the source code to remove the
SISSL must have been deemed too much for a bug fix release.
The following is excerpted from

All OpenOffice.org source code and binaries (executable files) up to and
including OpenOffice.org 2 Beta 2 are licensed under both the LGPL and
SISSL. Effective 2 September 2005, all code in the 2.0 codeline will be
licensed exclusively under the LGPL. All future versions of
OpenOffice.org, beyond OpenOffice.org 2 Beta 2, will thus be released
under the LGPL only. The change in licensing implicitly affects all
languages and platforms in which OpenOffice.org is distributed. </quote>
The second sentence answers the question.
