Even mo' for the homie
What are the differences between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org?
Differences between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org

The source code available at OpenOffice.org does not consist of all of the StarOffice code. Usually, the reason for this is that Sun pays to license third-party code to include in StarOffice that which it does not have permission to make available in OpenOffice.org. Those things which are or will be present in StarOffice but are not available on OpenOffice.org include:
Certain fonts (including, especially, Asian language fonts)
The database component (Adabas D)
Some templates
Extensive Clip Art Gallery
Some sorting functionality (Asian versions)
Certain file filters
For more information on the current features of OpenOffice.org, please see the "Features" page. A detailed comparison datasheet is available at Sun Microsystem's web site about OpenOffice.org.

Sorry dude - but the open source product was forked from StarOffice - not the other way around.
