Sun Expected To Make StarOffice Open Source

Guess their hopes that people would like it over Office are being dashed. Maybe if they can get enough free programmers to improve it, they will be able to increase mindshare, stop sinking money into a losing product, pretend to be open, and if the planets align, somehow hurt Microsoft in the process.

Seems like a reasonable move given their position.
