Anyway, it's SUNs interest to have as many people as possible using
StarOffice... After all, they are fighting the Big Microsoft Giant...
And having it licensed to Linux distributors for inclusion in boxed

using Linux market to infiltrate Windows Market (for places where both
enviroments are in use).
