OpenOffice was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use. Sun open-sourced the OpenOffice suite in July 2000 as a competitor to Microsoft Office,[14][15] releasing version 1.0 on 1 May 2002.[1]

OpenOffice included a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet (Calc), a presentation application (Impress), a drawing application (Draw), a formula editor (Math), and a database management application (Base).[16] Its default file format was the OpenDocument Format (ODF), an ISO/IEC standard, which originated with OpenOffice.org. It could also read a wide variety of other file formats, with particular attention to those from Microsoft Office. OpenOffice.org was primarily developed for Linux, Microsoft Windows and Solaris, and later for OS X, with ports to other operating systems. It was distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 (LGPL); early versions were also available under the Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL).

In 2011, Oracle Corporation, the then-owner of Sun, announced that it would no longer offer a commercial version of the suite[17] and donated the project to the Apache Foundation.[18][19] Apache renamed the software Apache OpenOffice.[13]

OpenOffice.org originated as StarOffice, a proprietary office suite developed by German company Star Division from 1985 on. In August 1999, Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[20][21] for US$59.5 million,[22] as it was supposedly cheaper than licensing Microsoft Office for 42,000 staff.[23]

On 19 July 2000 at OSCON, Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.[14][15][24] The new project was known as OpenOffice.org,[25] and the code was released as open source on 13 October 2000.[26] The first public preview release was Milestone Build 638c, released in October 2001 (which quickly achieved 1 million downloads[20]); the final release of OpenOffice.org 1.0 was on 1 May 2002.[1]

OpenOffice.org became the standard office suite on many Linux distros and spawned many derivative versions. It quickly became noteworthy competition to Microsoft Office,[27][28] achieving 14% penetration in the large enterprise market by 2004.[29]

Development of OpenOffice.org was sponsored primarily by Sun Microsystems, which used the code as the basis for subsequent versions of StarOffice. Developers who wished to contribute code were required to sign a Contributor Agreement[33][34] granting joint ownership of any contributions to Sun (and then Oracle), in support of the StarOffice business model.[35] This was controversial for many years.[24][36][37][38][39] An alternative Public Documentation Licence (PDL)[40] was also offered for documentation not intended for inclusion or integration into the project code base.[41]

After acquiring Sun in January 2010, Oracle Corporation continued developing OpenOffice.org and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office,[42] though with a reduction in assigned developers.[43] Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to OpenOffice.org had also been noted by industry observers.[44] In September 2010, the majority[45][46] of outside OpenOffice.org developers left the project,[47][48] due to concerns over Sun and then Oracle's management of the project[49][50][51] and Oracle's handling of its open source portfolio in general,[52] to form The Document Foundation (TDF). TDF released the fork LibreOffice in January 2011,[53] which most Linux distributions soon moved to.[54][55][56][57] In April 2011, Oracle stopped development of OpenOffice.org[17] and fired the remaining Star Division development team.[35][58] Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed; some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice[59] while others suggest it was a commercial decision.[35]

In June 2011, Oracle contributed the trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation.[60] It also contributed Oracle-owned code to Apache for relicensing under the Apache License,[61] at the suggestion of IBM (to whom Oracle had contractual obligations concerning the code),[24][62] as IBM did not want the code put under a copyleft license.[63] This code drop formed the basis for the Apache OpenOffice project.[64]

During Sun's sponsorship, the OpenOffice.org project was governed by the Community Council, comprising OpenOffice.org community members. The Community Council suggested project goals and coordinated with producers of derivatives on long-term development planning issues.[65][66][67]

Both Sun and Oracle are claimed to have made decisions without consulting the Council or in contravention to the council's recommendations,[68][69] leading to the majority of outside developers leaving for LibreOffice.[49] Oracle demanded in October 2010 that all Council members involved with the Document Foundation step down,[70] leaving the Community Council composed only of Oracle employees.[71]

The project and software were informally referred to as OpenOffice since the Sun release, but since this term is a trademark held by Open Office Automatisering in Benelux since 1999,[72][73] OpenOffice.org was its formal name.[74]

Due to a similar trademark issue (a Rio de Janeiro company that owned that trademark in Brazil), the Brazilian Portuguese version of the suite was distributed under the name BrOffice.org from 2004, with BrOffice.Org being the name of the associated local nonprofit from 2006.[75] (BrOffice.org moved to LibreOffice in December 2010.[76])

The mission of OpenOffice.org is to create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.

The suite contained no personal information manager, email client or calendar application analogous to Microsoft Outlook, despite one having been present in StarOffice 5.2. Such functionality was frequently requested.[79] The OpenOffice.org Groupware project, intended to replace Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server, spun off in 2003 as OpenGroupware.org,[80] which is now SOGo. The project considered bundling Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Lightning for OpenOffice.org 3.0.[79]

OpenOffice.org included OpenSymbol, DejaVu,[92] the Liberation fonts (from 2.4) and the Gentium fonts (from 3.2).[93][94][95] Versions up to 2.3 included the Bitstream Vera fonts.[92][96] OpenOffice.org also used the default fonts of the running operating system.

Fontwork is a feature that allows users to create stylized text with special effects differing from ordinary text with the added features of gradient colour fills, shaping, letter height, and character spacing. It is similar to WordArt used by Microsoft Word. When OpenOffice.org saved documents in Microsoft Office file format, all Fontwork was converted into WordArt.[97][98]

From version 2.0.4, OpenOffice.org supported third-party extensions.[99] As of April 2011, the OpenOffice Extension Repository listed more than 650 extensions.[100] Another list was maintained by the Free Software Foundation.[101][102]

OpenOffice.org included OpenOffice Basic, a programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). OpenOffice Basic was available in Writer, Calc and Base.[103] OpenOffice.org also had some Microsoft VBA macro support.

OpenOffice.org 1.0 was criticized for not having the look and feel of applications developed natively for the platforms on which it runs. Starting with version 2.0, OpenOffice.org used native widget toolkit, icons, and font-rendering libraries on GNOME, KDE and Windows.[112][113][114]

The issue had been particularly pronounced on Mac OS X. Early versions of OpenOffice.org required the installation of X11.app or XDarwin (though the NeoOffice port supplied a native interface). Versions since 3.0 ran natively using Apple's Aqua GUI.[115]

Although originally written in C++, OpenOffice.org became increasingly reliant on the Java Runtime Environment, even including a bundled JVM.[116] OpenOffice.org was criticized by the Free Software Foundation for its increasing dependency on Java, which was not free software.[117]

The issue came to the fore in May 2005, when Richard Stallman appeared to call for a fork of the application in a posting on the Free Software Foundation website.[117] OpenOffice.org adopted a development guideline that future versions of OpenOffice.org would run on free implementations of Java and fixed the issues which previously prevented OpenOffice.org 2.0 from using free-software Java implementations.[118]

In 2006, Lt. Col. Eric Filiol of the Laboratoire de Virologie et de Cryptologie de l'ESAT demonstrated security weaknesses, in particular within macros.[120][121][122] In 2006, Kaspersky Lab demonstrated a proof of concept virus, "Stardust", for OpenOffice.org.[123] This showed OpenOffice.org viruses are possible, but there is no known virus "in the wild".

As of October 2011, Secunia reported no known unpatched security flaws for the software.[124] A vulnerability in the inherited OpenOffice.org codebase was found and fixed in LibreOffice in October 2011[125] and Apache OpenOffice in May 2012.[126]

The preview, Milestone 638c, was released October 2001.[20] OpenOffice.org 1.0 was released under both the LGPL and the SISSL[24] for Windows, Linux and Solaris[143] on 1 May 2002.[1][144] The version for Mac OS X (with X11 interface) was released on 23 June 2003.[145][146]

Work on version 2.0 began in early 2003 with the following goals (the "Q Product Concept"): better interoperability with Microsoft Office; improved speed and lower memory usage; greater scripting capabilities; better integration, particularly with GNOME; a more usable database; digital signatures; and improved usability.[148] It would also be the first version to default to OpenDocument. Sun released the first beta version on 4 March 2005.[149]
