Description bill.roth 2001-03-28 17:54:21 UTC 
Question:  Does the OpenOffice.org open source give me the right to 
modify and distribute any version of StarOffice,for example, the 
currently shipping StarOffice 5.2?  For example, can I undertake and ship 
a StarOffice 5.2 for Catalan?

Answer:  No.  The OpenOffice.org source initiative does not allow anyone 
to modify, repackage or redistribute any version of StarOffice, or any 
other commerical version of the OpenOffice.org source code without an 
agreement from the vendor. For StarOffice the vendor is Sun Microsystems.  
Additionally, the source code in the  OpenOffice.org project is the development 
project for future releases, starting with StarOffice 6.0.   StarOffice 5.2 
code is not part of the OpenOffice.org project.
