OpenSourcing 5.2 - It was better than anything since IMHO

Hey gang,

I'm new hear but have been using StarOffice for a LOOONG time - way before SUN purchased it.

I was wondering why Sun chose to opensource 6.0 but not 5.2. Here's why I like 5.2...

a) I like the integrated suite

b) it was MUCH faster than anything that has been released since and uses fewer resources. I currently still use it and shake my head when I used 6.0, 7.0, and now 8.0 is ridiculously slow. B4 you flame me - go give it a shot.

I'd like to see some group take 5.2 and give it all the bells and whistles of 8.0 to see what would happen.

Anyhow, what would keep Sun from opensourcing 5.2?
