No, we do not use OO's source.

It is not because it is a program that you can reuse its code (like apples and 
oranges are fruits but you cannot mix them to create a new fruit.)

Any program code makes assumption, in particular in which support library it 
uses (for example GTK for GNOME, QT for KDE.) Already this makes it difficult 
to re-use code.

However, KOffice uses a few libraries that are used by other applications 
(like libxml2, which comes from the GNOME world.)

Have a nice day/evening/night!
