Not that it really matters, but as long as they redistribute a software
covered by (L)GPL, the requirement of section 3 of the license still
apply. In short, they give away their "demo", anybody who receive said
demo is entitled to receive the source as per section 3 of the GPL.[1]
Just a clarification so that people don't feel themselves in the need to
give money to anybody to see if they can get the source code.

[1] IANAL. This is a general interpretation, not necessarily the one
that the copyright holders agree with.
To all,
"Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. This License allows you
to install and use one copy of the Butler Software Solutions Software on
a single Butler Software Solutions -labeled computer at a time. This
License does not allow the Butler Software Solutions Software to exist
on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Butler
Software Solutions Software available over a network where it could be
used by multiple computers at the same time."
"Except as and only to the extent expressly permitted in this
License or by applicable law, you may not copy, decompile, reverse
engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of the Butler
Software Solutions Software or any part thereof."
Don't these violate the GPL? Again, IANAL, but it seems to me that
if you are allowed the source code and free redistribution of the code
and software under the GPL, this license violates it.
