If it's an evaluation copy, that means it's not free. It's for sale
all over the place, and I remember reading a statement from the company
that the Linux version is no longer free -- although it may be possible
to download (and apparently is).
StarOffice 3 was just an experiment to test the viability of a Linux
port. It was distributed under different terms.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember if this info
came from C.O.L.A. or Linux Journal.
