Before clicking, hover the cursor over for the download link moment — Download for Mac OS X 10.6 – 10.8 — and you will note that it appears to direct to a .dmg file. Actually, that’s a ruse as you will be taken to an verification page:
To download the NeoOffice-3.3-Intel.dmg file, please login so that we can verify that you have paid US$10 (or €7 or £6 or CA$10 or AU$10 or ¥834) or more within the last year.
Yup, in order to download NeoOffice, you must first pay $10 or be able to prove that payment has been made in the last year. “Donationware” they’re calling it.
Paying for software is cool. Little games on the way to cash register aren’t…
What’s your take?

NeoOffice is a great bargain at $10. The software was free until 2010 or 2011 I think, and they started charging then. I don’t have any problem paying $10 that replaces Word and Excel for me, saving me hundreds of dollars in license fees.
As far as I know you don’t pay per user or per computer so theoretically you are just paying to download the software, not for the software license.
I use it all the time, daily and for work. There are some funky things with macros, and colors when you open an excel file created in excel from time to time. The new version of office will support the open office format which should eliminate this problem.
