On 2 September 2005, Sun announced that it was retiring SISSL to reduce license proliferation,[150] though some press analysts felt it was so that IBM could not reuse OpenOffice.org code without contributing back.[24] Versions after 2.0 beta 2 would use only the LGPL.[8]

A number of open source and proprietary products derive at least some code from OpenOffice.org, including AndrOpen Office,[203] Apache OpenOffice, ChinaOffice, Co-Create Office, EuroOffice 2005,[204] Go-oo, KaiOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, IBM Workplace, Jambo OpenOffice (the first office suite in Swahili),[205][206][207] LibreOffice, MagyarOffice, MultiMedia Office, MYOffice 2007, NeoOffice, NextOffice, OfficeOne, OfficeTLE, OOo4Kids,[208] OpenOfficePL, OpenOffice.org Portable,[209] OpenOfficeT7, OpenOffice.ux.pl, OxOffice,[210] OxygenOffice Professional,[211][212] Pladao Office,[213] PlusOffice Mac,[214] RedOffice,[38][137][215] RomanianOffice, StarOffice/Oracle Open Office, SunShine Office, ThizOffice, UP Office, White Label Office,[216][217][218][219] WPS Office Storm (the 2004 edition of Kingsoft Office) and 602Office.[220]
Sun's contributions to OpenOffice.org had been declining for a number of years[246] and some developers were unwilling to assign copyright in their work to Sun,[39] particularly given the deal between Sun and IBM to license the code outside the LGPL.[35] On 2 October 2007, Novell announced that ooo-build would be available as a software package called Go-oo, not merely a patch set.[267] (The go-oo.org domain name had been in use by ooo-build as early as 2005.[268]) Sun reacted negatively, with Simon Phipps of Sun terming it "a hostile and competitive fork".[37] Many free software advocates worried that Go-oo was a Novell effort to incorporate Microsoft technologies, such as Office Open XML, that might be vulnerable to patent claims.[269] However, the office suite branded "OpenOffice.org" in most Linux distributions, having previously been ooo-build, soon in fact became Go-oo.[261][270][271] 2ff7e9595c
