<br>
This is a question for Leonard, I guess. But since I'd like to see a<br>
public reply, I'm posting to CREATE.<br>
<br>
I'm reading <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk/eula_cs4.html" target="_blank">http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk/eula_cs4.html</a><br>
right now, specifically "6. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE." section which<br>
states:<br>
<br>
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, You are not licensed to<br>
(and You agree that You will not) integrate or use this SDK with any<br>
Open Source Software or otherwise take any action that could require<br>
disclosure, distribution, or licensing of all or any part of the SDK<br>
in source code form, for the purpose of making derivative works, or at<br>
no charge."<br>
<br>
Does it cover .indd file format specification if there is one inside the SDK?<br>
<br>
The use case I'm talking about is implementing an open source plug-in<br>
for an open source software that would open/save .indd files.<br>
