If you use star office 5.2 (which is free and opensource), it will probably be accepted since it works in the same way.
it is only free in price and is not opensource or ree(dom)
Star Office 5.2 is the previous version. This used to be distributed by many distros. I was always under the impression that it was open source. Are you sure it is only a free software and not opensource ? I clarify that I am not talking about star office 6, which is now owned by Sun.
yes, it was never opensource. Just opensourced later called as OpenOffice, but the new StarOffice took a different part. Also 5.2 is said to be avaiable for download but sun.com does not offer it for downloads. It is clearly listed on the site that no one can download it from sun.com since they do not offer downloads of it. Also they stopped the staroffice free beta downloads of 6.0 long before the alpha was relased.
