That's (a) not much cheaper, and (b) no more legal than pirating unless you're a student.
Openoffice might not be compatible with the logic built into the spreadsheet- there's tons of scripting in there that would essentially have to be rewritten (and updated separately) to port it. If a rewrite happens, it would be better to port the code to something that's built for a project of this complexity like a web page with a database in the background.
