Well...the original owner of the code, Marco Boerries, was really
fond of the name OpenOffice. No other name would do. However,
Sun's lawyers were not willing to endorse a name that they couldn't
secure worldwide trademarks on. There was an existing proprietary
software package sold in the South Korean market that was using the
name OpenOffice.
In Switzerland, there is the brand name "Open Office" as well. - So
be careful. ;-)
And OpenOffice is a registered trademark in the BeNeLux (www.openoffice.nl)
But prolly Simon Brouwer already told (I did not check all maisl from
last days.)
