The German software company Star Division (also written Star-Division) was founded in 1985 by the 16-year-old Marco Börries in Lüneburg as a garage company. After a neighbour denounced the operation of a business in a residential area to the Ordnungsamt, the company moved to Hamburg. As its first product the company distributed StarWriter, a word processor application developed by friends. Caldera, Inc. supported the Linux port of StarOffice 3.1 with ca. 800.000 DM in order to offer the product with their forthcoming OpenLinux distribution in 1997.

| - Die Hamburger Softwarefirma Star Division wurde im Jahr 1985 vom 16-jährigen Marco Börries in Lüneburg gegründet. Nach der Anzeige eines Nachbarn beim Ordnungsamt wegen des Betriebs eines Gewerbes in einer Wohngegend siedelte die Firma nach Hamburg um. Star Division wurde vor allem durch ihr Office-Paket StarOffice bekannt. Diese Software wurde weltweit über 25 Millionen Mal verkauft. Im Jahr 1998 gab Börries StarOffice für den Privatgebrauch kostenlos zur Nutzung frei. Star Division wurde am 5. August 1999 von dem Soft- und Hardwarehersteller Sun Microsystems für einen hohen zweistelligen Millionenbetrag (US-Dollar) aufgekauft. Daraufhin stellte Sun die Software als StarOffice 5.1a erstmals auch für die kommerzielle Nutzung kostenlos zur Verfügung. Das Programm StarOffice wurde seitdem von Sun Microsystems und dem OpenOffice.org-Projekt weiterentwickelt. Sun Microsystems ist seit dem 27. Januar 2010 eine hundertprozentige Tochter der Oracle Corporation. (de)
- The German software company Star Division (also written Star-Division) was founded in 1985 by the 16-year-old Marco Börries in Lüneburg as a garage company. After a neighbour denounced the operation of a business in a residential area to the Ordnungsamt, the company moved to Hamburg. As its first product the company distributed StarWriter, a word processor application developed by friends. Positioned as a cheaper alternative to Microsoft's office suite, StarWriter later became StarOffice, for which the company became famous. The software had sales of over 25 million worldwide, and at its peak it had a market share among other office suites of about 25% in Germany. Caldera, Inc. supported the Linux port of StarOffice 3.1 with ca. 800.000 DM in order to offer the product with their forthcoming OpenLinux distribution in 1997. In 1998 Börries released StarOffice free of charge for private use. Star Division was acquired by the software and hardware vendor Sun Microsystems on 5 August 1999 for a higher double-digit million amount in US dollars. Sun reintroduced the software as StarOffice 5.1a, and for the first time also free of charge for commercial use. The StarOffice suite has since been further developed by Sun Microsystems and the OpenOffice and LibreOffice communities. Sun Microsystems became a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation on 27 January 2010. (en)
