Who owns the software? The copyright is shared by Sun Microsystems

and all the volunteers who have contributed.

Does that mean that they

can take away the software?

No. The licenses under which OOo is

developed and distributed can never be

revoked, so it cannot be taken away.

I am writing a software

application. May I use

programming code from

OpenOffice.org in my

program?

You may, within the parameters set in the

LGPL. Read the license:

http://www.openoffice.org/license.html

Why is my favorite feature

from StarOffice not available

in OOo?

That feature is probably a third-party add-on

that Sun cannot distribute with

OpenOffice.org.

Why do I need Java to run

OOo? Is it written in Java?

OpenOffice.org is not written in Java; it is

written in the C++ language. Java is one of

several languages that can be used to extend

OOo. The Java JDK/JRE is only required for

some features. The most notable one is the

HSQLDB relational database engine.

Note: Java is available at no cost. If you don't

want to use Java, you can still use nearly all

of the features of OOo.

How can I contribute to

OpenOffice.org?

You can help with the development of OOo in

many ways, and you do not need to be a

programmer. To start, check out this

webpage:

What’s the catch? There really is none; you can read the

licenses here:
