It definitely doesn't come from pumpkins like the ones we carve. It comes from the Dickinson variety of squash specifically developed for pie by Libby's. The FDA allows it to be labeled "pumpkin" even though it's closer to a squash.

But Snopes says that it's not "butternut squash", if that makes you feel better.
