I've been in touch with a Sun rep who refuses to verify this or
deny it.

It's really not so horrible that they might charge for a boxed
product, but they should have announced their plans before trying
to get Open Source developers onboard for Open Office -- and if
this is the plan, they should be up front about it.

If they're going to mimic Microsoft, people might as well just
use MS Office -- at least MS is honest about its intent to charge
for MS Office.
