Its easier to understand when you compare OOo and So with Fedora and RHEL, just a little time advanced on becoming more community-stuff. OOo is STILL developed in part by Sun staff, but in much more collaborative way with the open community, and they put some of those thing back in StarOffice. That doesn't mean the process is already perfect - there's having some trouble between open community and sun with the brazilian portuguese translation - sun did it without warning anyone, and at the same time there was a very active open community project... Just when both translations were practically done, sun's one was published... Their path can be a good thing to look at in the process of opening fedora to the community.
