Heh :)
IANAL, of course. I'm going to re-read their license,
the GPL, the slashdot discussions, etc... and spend
some time contemplating it all when I'm not at work.
My gut reaction (based on the 15 seconds I've spent
reading the license) based on my quick glance at this
license and the GPL is as follows:
I think that we could get away with writing an
implementation that reads/writes this format, provided
we add the MSFT disclaimer (similar to our WordPerfect
disclaimer). This may require me to dual-license any
such plugin (or license it under something like the
BSD license), but I'd be willing to do so.
Anyway, no sage advice from me yet - only a
(potentially wrong) gut reaction. I'll have something
more concrete sometime tomorrow.
Dom
