It supports the ISO standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, along with Microsoft Office '97-2003 formats and many others.
Originally, OpenOffice.org was derived from StarOffice, an office suite developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999. In July 2000, the source code of the software was released, aiming to provide a free, open, and high-quality alternative to the dominant market share of Microsoft Office. Later versions of StarOffice are based on OpenOffice.org with additional proprietary components.
OpenOffice.org is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), which makes it free software. However, as the term "OpenOffice" is trademarked by another party, the project had to adopt OpenOffice.org as its formal name.
