Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [pt-br-usuarios] Estudantes da rede estadual de SP terão Office gratuito para até 5 PCs após parceria

With all of the posts in all of the threads, it is not unusual that things 
would get confusing. I only point out that I was not the source of the quote 
in the following email. At this point, I don't know who wrote it.

StarOffice was not from MS.  It was originally written for CP/M on the
Z80, by a guy who started StarDivision.  I first came across it on
OS/2.  StarDivision was bought by Sun, who kept StarOffice as the
commercial version of the open source OpenOffice.  LibreOffice was
created from OpenOffice, when Oracle, after buying Sun, couldn't decide
what to do with StarOffice and OpenOffice.
