Hi Charles,
* you see this in the screenshots on their website
* you can download a trial version
** this trial version claims that on my box that a newer version of
butler office is installed :-)
** The Windows version identifies itself in the about box as a build
9095 (OOE680m6). The Mac version as build 9161 (OOF680m18).
I assume that also people who paid for the office also get no access to
the source code.
The included license looks weired, I will have a deeper look into it.

Hello Kevin,
ButlerPro is not one of our contributors. However, I'd be curious to
know how you can see that they're using the OpenOffice.org codebase.
Best Regards,

It's certainly a modified version of OpenOffice. They don't mention
OpenOffice nor do they provide source. Right down to the soffice.bin
executable in the OS X package.

They openly bash open source software on this page yet their product
is based on it.
I've had an unsuccessful discussion with them on this if you all
would like me to forward it to the list. The only contact info on
the page was the customer service e-mail address
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I have a feeling it's just a
guy or 3 in a basement because the reply was instantaneous and
whoever it was didn't seem like a typical customer service rep. He
was a bit more knowledgeable than a typical customer service rep.
If I'm wrong and they do contribute code back, my apologies. I
certainly haven't seen anything however. I just felt the need to
point this out.
