Hello,
I have just installed Open Solarsis in my laptop in order to test its
funcionalities and compatibility in X86. I have strongs doubts about
opensolaris as a new choice in the opensource environment. One of the
doubst is, When i finished the installation I noticed that StarOffice is
still included in the distribution of Java Desktop System.
Correction: you have most probably installed Solaris 10 or Solaris
Express and that is not an Open Solaris distribution (e.g. not solely an
Open Solaris distribution). The only solely Open Solaris distribution is
Joerg's SchilliX which contains neither JDS nor StarOffice.
StarOffice is not free, so how can Open Solaris include StarOffice
instead of OpenOffice in its distribution?, if i were a customer
installing OpenSolaris in my system, should I pay a licensing for
StarOffice?. If I would not want to pay, how can I migrate to
OpenOffice?
Since StarOffice comes with Solaris 10, which you don't need to pay
licence for, you don't have to pay licence for StarOffice either. If it
still bothers you, just do
pkgrm SUNWsom SUNWsogm
and install OpenOffice instead.
