Sun's StarOffice no longer free (ZDNet)
[Posted May 29, 2002 by corbet]
Here's
a ZDNet
article on the (May 29) end to free downloads of StarOffice 5.2.
"
Sun's maneuvres with StarOffice are being closely watched as
open-source software businesses continue to search for ways to boost
revenues. Paid, proprietary software is controversial in the open-source
world, which is based on the theory that profits can be made on 'free'
products, but some open-source companies say it is the only way to
continue to fund themselves."
