Not GPL compatable, but... (Score 1)

The agreement is not compatable with the GPL, since it introduces a requirement for attribution which is not present in the GPL (and the GPL is not compatable with any licence which enforces something not in the GPL) but... It is debatable to what degree a XML format schema is "linked to" anyway, which is the main reason GPL-compatability is needed. For example, the transformation to OASIS format could be done using XSLT. XSLT is an XML format to transform one XML format to another. This can be done using, for example, Xerces which is Apache licenced XSL engine. What's to stop openoffice linking to an XSL engine (they're pretty small) and using it to import documents? Even if an XSL engine can't be linked to, whats to stop it being started in a seperate process and piped through?
