Which is the point and probably on the list of things to do.
To further that goal, US sw patents, the DMCA/EUCD and the EEA all provide
enough licensing restrictions to inhibit competitors from using the
formats, especially future versions which are encumbered with "now illegal
to talk about circumventing" DRM. Furthermore, the licensing for
production use of the XML schema for MS formats prohibits directly or
indirectly its use in open source products. Please, if I am wrong, then
show me the license.

Software patents kill innovation and harm all Net-based business.
Keep them out of the EU by writing your MEP, keep the market open.
