I guess I'm not all that concerned about who's giving what to whom. I
find NeoOffice to be very stable and integrated in the OSX environment
and OOO (pre-version 3) required use of the klunky X11 system. I tried
OOO ver. 3 and found it buggy, prone to crashes, and worse, unkillable
crashes. I also didn't find the differences between ver. 2 and ver. 3
on the Mac version to be all that compelling. That's why I'm not going
to wrestle with OOO3. As stated earlier, I have neither the time or
energy to wrestle with the flaws in the Mac OOO3. Needing to use a
variety of ways to kill a program/process smacks of Microsoft, not GNU
and open source.
As usual, your mileage may vary.

We had a discussion of OSX issues with Ver. 3 in early December,

Ver.3 for the Mac does not appear to be completely ready for
primetime yet. I'm sticking with NeoOffice
I've had very few problems using OO.o 3, very few crashes and always
able to force quit if necessary (very rare occurrence). I also used
the development version for several months before the final release
and found it very reliable. It is definitely ready for prime time.
As for NeoOffice, they take the code from OO.o, modify it and release
it using a different license that prevents OO.o using any of their
code. They contribute nothing back to the OO.o project or to its
future development. They only take and give nothing back.
