Thanks. Some of the short descriptions of OOo and SO could use updating to reflect this.

Neither. There is only one codebase from which both StarOffice and OpenOffice.org are built. Corresponding milestone builds of StarOffice and Sun-built OpenOffice.org even share a significant part of the binary files (i.e. they are packaged from the same build).

Both products add some components or branding elements that the other doesn't have. For OpenOffice.org the source for these elements lives in the OOo CVS, for SO most of it lives in a private source code repository at Sun. In this very limited sense you could say OOo source is the base for SO source.
