OpenOffice.org is an opensource project which is in great deal backed by  
Sun. Sun makes money out of the commercial entity of StarOffice.  
OpenOffice.org on the other hand is focused on the development of the  
suite and doesn't focus on the revenue. If large companies want a  
supported version they can talk directly to Sun and either have the  
OpenOffice.org support (limited) or the StarOffice support (full support).

Sun makes money out of their servers and Enterprise versions of StarOffice  
which has some managing tools for large scale corporate deployment of the  
suite.

On the other hand, OpenOffice.org can be used as part of potential  
businesses that want to develop services or products on top of  
OpenOffice.org (plug-ins, add ons) or integrate OpenOffice.org as part of  
their proposal.

OpenOffice.org is XML based which add flexibility to new, modern  
application development and can interact and be easily integrated into  
other programs with relative small time of development.
