Except that at least half their board is composed of major Koffice contributers. (I don't recognize the names of the other 2 board members, but that doesn't mean they are outside the koffice community, just that I don't know them) While in theory the koffice community could reject their patches, since they are the community this is less likely.

I suppose it is possible they will get paid for an ugly hack that sortof works and meets a customers needs now, but isn't the direction they want koffice to go long term.

Special builds for customers, and single builds are likely. Sort of like Code Weavers has their own version of Wine, but it only better than Wine as a whole in places where they have ugly hacks that make one things sort of work while making others less likely to work.

Exactly, it's natural for variants of software to exist for different applications. No need for something unnecessary to be added to the main code base.
