I have examined the copyright/licence of OpenOffice.org and, although it is
complicated and has diverse ownership, it is truly free:
see /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/copyright in Debian Etch, for instance.


Every bit of FLOSS has a copyright holder somewhere. Linux itself has
thousands. Being complex should not make OpenOffice.org excluded. This
package is one of the pillars of GNU/Linux on the desktop. Many distros
include it.

Sleepycat used to be involved with MySQL. Did the distro exclude MySQL?
