Hmm.. 
"OpenOffice has some interesting constraints due to the way it is
licensed. Any code which is to become part of OpenOffice must
(1) be dual-licensed under both the GPL and Sun's SISSL, and
(2) have its copyright ownership transferred (in writing) to Sun."

I wonder how many people would be happy with those conditions?

Donncha.
