Nah. I guess you would not  have found unless you knew these documents
existed; They are not manuals.

These  links will  show  how  a free  version  of OpenOffice.org  (not
openoffice) has been implemented by Debian.

OO.o is in  `main' section of debian; a program  cannot be in Debian's
`main' archive unless the program, all libraries required by it, build
scripts,  and  the compiler/interpreter  required  to compile/run  the
program are fully free.

This  freedom fanaticism is  one of  the reasons  why Debian  is often
referred to as distros' distro. Several distros like knoppix, morphix,
Ubuntu, etc.  are  based on Debian.  And precisely  why people like me
use Debian.
