That's incorrect about OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org has guidelines for different distributions, (some, but 
not all of which are ports or localisations) at 
http://distribution.openoffice.org/

So OpenOffice.org is the community, the code base, its own distribution 
and has many other distributions, including OxygenOffice Professional, 
NeoOffice, 602Office, Jambo OpenOffice, RomanianOffice, RedOffice etc.
