In April 2011, Oracle announced its withdrawal from the project. As of version 3.2.1, Oracle is developing, following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle. Since version 3.0.0, the software has changed from the GNU LGPL 2.1 license to the GNU LGPL 3 license.
The stated goal is to offer an alternative to Microsoft's proprietary office suite Office in which OpenOffice will have a significant market share. The resulting product is distributed under the same name and under various licenses (the LGPL and, up to version 2.0 beta 2 included, the SISSL), and works on various platforms including Windows, many Unix: Linux, Solaris or Apple Mac OS X.
Today is a special day for one of the best known open Source office suites and that is October 13, 2000(this is more precisely the date of publication of the source code) was born which is a project at the initiative of Sun Microsystems with a view to producing a free and open source office suite based on StarOffice.
