Perfect Pro appears to be a commercial branch of OOo. Here's the link:

They don't seem to acknowledge the heritage, however....
I wonder if they tell their customers to come to us for support? ;)
They don't have to, the program does. Try this:
*Help > Support*
Right there our website is listed.
Heck, the name of the program is OpenOffice.org, doesn't take a genius
to find the website! :)
So this company not only rips off the project they expect us to do there
support. Never. What they and others have done with re-labelling OOo may
be sharp business in the Bill Gates sense but expecting free support is
another thing. Where is the money? Cosmi has not supported the project
in any fashion that I can find. Nuts to them.
I lurk on this list mostly, since I have not yet taken the time to begin
fully using OOo. However, I agree with G. Roderick. Cosmi sells the
application, along with a lot of other things and makes a handsome
profit. We (the OOo open source community) don't know what modifications
Cosmi might have made, what add-ons, etc.
Let *them* support *their* product.
