So it was ok for SUN to buy StarOffice and give it away in order to  
reduce MS/Office sales?
OpenOffice's free price and open source was a marketing tool too.

Before you go "you must be anti FOSS" on me, bear in mind there were  
many true FOSS office type products (word processors, a spreadsheet or  
two) and so on, that were crushed by StarOffice (and OpenOffice).
