OpenOffice == StarOffice

The definition of OpenOffice by freshmeat.net (this is THE definition,
and not only a part of the definition):

: About: OpenOffice.org is the Open Source project through which Sun
: Microsystems is releasing the technology for the popular StarOffice
: productivity suite. 

It's like Mozilla and Netscape.

The code is 99% equal. One is Open Source and has an extra 1% of code too
new to be included in the second, while the second is a commercialized
version of the first and has an extra 1% of code which can't be released.
