I don't get your confusion.

Sun buys StarOffice, Sun opensources it into OpenOffice and supports its development, Sun goes under and gets bought by Oracle with all its stuff.

Then yeah, Oracle killed most of what Sun was doing altruistically (or as part of their desktop\workstation strategy that didn't transpire, who knows). Including OOO.
