You mean Sun's Open Office? Yes, they own most of the code and released it open source.
Wait, I thought Sun wasn't part of your evil communist conspiracy because they can supposedly sue for Open Solaris forks. But now Sun is because of Open Office?
Your position is about as consistent as warm jello.
It's not my position that's constantly changing, it's Sun's. And exactly why they may decide to sue someone who forks Solaris, you just never know with those guys.
