StarOffice was not spun out. Oracle continued with an Oracle Open Office for a time. They seem to have concluded that was not a sustainable business.

The last I heard, Sun Microsystems was still developing StarOffice as their income product, where they sold it and bundled support in with it. Now I do not see any connection between StarOffice and Oracle. Did Oracle get StarOffice when they bought Sun or did Sun or Oracle spin it off?
