closed file formats?
by ac on Tuesday 15/Jan/2002, @11:13

Hi Shawn,

on Linuxtoday you did not answer the question if the file formats of Hancom office are closed - as they are in M$-Office.

How is it?

cheers,

marty

I think at least the Kivio one will be open.

It would be great to have filters to convert between Handcom and KOffice. I am still convinced that both can live together happily ever after.

Well...
See this Dot quotation :

Not really the friendly remark.
OTOH, - I hope this is not too much of a taboo to say it - all commercial Kivio editions as well as KDEStudios are still GPLed software (merely because *was* GPLed is a wording that GPL denies).
So even if theKompany seems to feel very uncomfortable now with the GPL, they may consider importation/exportation to KOffice as a logical consequence of things past ?... I don't know.
