If Sun creates a foundation for OpenOffice.org development external people might contribute, not only with patches but financially as well. IBM has largely done this with the Eclipse foundation and by now it has built a huge momentum. Compare with Sun's NetBeans which is apparently better software, but is not so popular by far within the Java ecosystem.
