=20 It seems simple to resquest this but it is obvious that they can't eve if they liked to do it...
And why not?

Star Division, the creatot of the beast (before Sun bought them) bought closed source software that is owned by others and linked into staroffice.

Sorry, I don't have all uptodate news about non-free software.
Star Division, the creatot of the beast (before Sun bought them) bought closed source software that is owned by others and linked into staroffice.
