On the brighter side, I got pulled up for this (saying OpenOffice instead of OpenOffice.org) in something I wrote recently by a "volunteer marketer" for OpenOffice.org - so, this is obviously a problem that they recognise, and there are people reading things and making sure that people make the correct distinction between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. Perhaps we can prod them a little so that they also make the distinction between the types of licence as well as the name - although, they may well do that already, I don't know.
They should just make StarOffice free and you wouldn't have those problems.
SUN has just kindly agreed to go in the other direction. StarOffice has now to be paid for (as Version 6). Maybe that gets people noticing - maybe.
