Here's another article on StarOffice 6.0 with more details:
http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/05/15/020515hnstaroffice.xml

- OEM Pricing:  $50/seat for 150 licenses down to
                $25/seat for 10,000+

- Educational Pricing:  Media/Shipping-only (no per-seat charges)

- 1 License entitles a single user to install it on
  upto *5* computers/devices

The last note is especially sweet for home users who want to install
what they have at work.  Microsoft used to allow home users to install
upto one copy from work through MS Office 95, but ended the exception
with MS Office 97 onward.

BTW, the StarOffice page now features 6.0 (no longer 5.2):

The US government could be 100x more effective, and 1/100th the
Constitutional worry, if it dictated its policy to Microsoft as
THE MAJOR CUSTOMER it is, and not THE REGULATOR it fails to be.
