I recall that StarDivision made original 5.2 free for academic use, and
so it should still be available from old mirror sites. e.g.
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/staroffice/5.2/
Though clearly 5.2 is ancient so anyone using it should really upgrade
to any of the current OpenOffice.org or StarOffice varients.
