And MS Word allows to export data in plain text or html. But it's
still allowed to reverse MS Word to make a .doc import/export plugin for OpenOffice or Abiword.This is exactly the same. As long as there is a data format or a protocol involved, European laws allow users to reverse engineer it, to be able to create another program using the same format and protocols.
Please stop pissing off Larry and spread FUD.
Go help Tom Lord to write arch instead.

So people from Abiword or OpenOffice.org should stop pissing off Bill and should work on LaTeX instead of trying to make a good .doc import/export filter ?
