Simon Phipps, chief technology evangelist for Sun's European office, said:

"A company like Sony would rather that we join the open-source community
for them," he said. "With StarOffice, they get all the benefits of
open-source, without the burdens of having to join the open-source
community."

Burden ? I would have thought the community looks after itself. That's why
it's called a community.
