OS/2 StarOffice users should abandon all fear. In a 
News.com story, Marco Boerries, founder and former owner of
Star Division, speaks on the future of StarOffice.

The main announcement is that the current native code, and 
future thin-client java editions of the software will be 
given away for free to all users, not just the educational 
and home users (as has been the previous policy).

In addition to giving the software away for free, Sun will 
make the original programming instructions, or "source 
code," available under the Sun Community Source License.

Sun plans to make money selling services such as 
installation and technical support for the software.

A new "thin" version, StarPortal, due by the end of the 
year, is handled by a central server (like the current 
StarOffice for Java version). Coming from Sun, and being 
100% java, I think we have NO reason to fear if StarPortal 
will run in OS/2 :).

Sun is expected to announce the Star Division acquisition 
today in New York, where the company will demonstrate the 
use of StarPortal on a Java-enabled PalmPilot, which is 
connected to a server.
