.org because it is part of the actual name - originally it was to be
called just OpenOffice, but after using that name for a bit, it was
found that it was already in use for something else. Well, the domain
name was there, and suffiently different in trademark terms, and it
carries with it the not-for-profit nature of free software - that ended
up being accepted.
