Description bill.roth 2001-02-07 00:23:48 UTC 
Please add the following questions to the MAIN FAQ in the "Overview section".

Q: If I build the code for OpenOffice.org, can I call it StarOffice?
A. No. You can  not  call what you build, or any modifications thereof, 
StarOffice. You can call it anything else, however. So, if you are working at 
Bobco Software and you wanted to call what you have built "BobOffice", that 
would be ok.

Q: Can I take code from OpenOffice.org and modify StarOffice 5.2?
A. No. StarOffice 5.2 is Sun's commercial product and is not licensed under the 
GPL license family or SISSL. StarOffice 5.2 is built on a code base that 
predated the OpenOffice.org code. To modify StarOffice 5.2 in any way with the 
code from OOo would be out of bounds.
