A Microsoft Works import filter has been developed, and will likely be
added to a future release of OpenOffice.
For everyone's reference, adding a .wps file filter was tracked under
issue 8938. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8938

... so there was made progress regarding this? ->

As others have already said, OpenOffice will not read Microsoft
Works files.
But no: you do not have to buy Works, as there are two solutions.

Issue #8938
import/export filters for Microsoft Works (.wdb, .wps and .wks)
Status: RESOLVED
Resolution: FIXED

That was the coding part.
What still is missing is the legal part. This new filter uses an
external libary called libwps. We still have to clarify whether OOo
can use this library as it is provided.
So now we're in the hand of the lawyers...
