(Get the code!)
As I understand it OpenOffice is the community released open version and StarOffice is the Sun branded version with a few added extras to it. Since Sun has everyone who commits code to the official OpenOffice sign a copyright assignment form they can use the code in their commercial release of StarOffice. ooo-build is a set of patches maintained primarily by Novell primarily for code that Sun either hasn't committed yet or the person who wrote the code doesn't want to assign copyright to Sun. There are a few exceptions but that is the general outline of how StarOffice, OpenOffice, ooo-build works.
