Sun Microsystems Star Office 5.1a's binary licence places no restriction
on allowed uses: Commercial use is legal without fees.
By contrast, Star Division Star Office 5.1's binary licence for the
Personal Edition (whether bought in a box or downloaded) did not permit
commercial use. The latter required the Professional Edition, which
cost roughly US $100 more that the Personal Edition boxed set.
FYI: If I recall correctly, the 5.1a licence states that you have no
right to "distribute" the software, but can't imagine them objecting
to what you describe.

(ObPedantry: But not "free" in the FSF, Debian Free Sofware Guidelines,
or Open Source Definition senses. ;-> Yet -- if ever.)
