<section end=question/>

<section begin=answer/>
* Differences of features between [[StarOffice]] and OpenOffice.org.
** The source code available at OpenOffice.org does not consist of all of the [[StarOffice]] code. Usually, the reason for this is that Sun pays to license third party code to include in [[StarOffice]] that which it does not have permission to make available in OpenOffice.org. Those things which are or will be present in [[StarOffice]] but are not available on OpenOffice.org include:
*** Certain fonts (including, especially, Asian language fonts)
*** Templates included with [[StarOffice]]
*** Extensive Clip Art Gallery
*** Some sorting functionality (Asian versions)
*** Certain file filters
*** Different spellcheckers
** OOo is available in more languages than StarOffice

* Differences of support between [[StarOffice]] and OpenOffice.org.
** As users normally have to pay for StarOffice, they can expect additional [http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/support.jsp support options].
** [http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice Sun Microsystems] has some additional benefits for registered users of StarOffice.
