I will release all I did as LGPL as those are librairies (my mistake last time 
I said GPL).
You know, it's just something which will get the information from the document 
and put that in maps, and call your callbacks. It's just easier when you have 
to write a filter, but it's just linked with your filter.
I used maps as the document may evolve and updating the lib to use a new 
version of the doc won't make the filters incompatible.
There is also a lot of info sent to the callbacks, with the maps, it's easy 
just to pick up what the filter needs.
This lib does not much, it just do the part which is common to all export 
filters.
I want to clean up the code a little bit, and I will put all of this in cvs 
this week-end.


So it would rather be:
+--------------------+
|   KDElibs/KSpread  |
|   LPGL License     |
+--------------------+
         |
  Loadable Module, plugin API
         |
+--------------------+
|   libkspreadexport |
|   LPGL       |
+--------------------+
         |
       Linked
         |
+--------------------+
|   MS Excel Filter  | Combined work falls under ASL License, compatible
|    BSD License     | with LGPL as "work that uses the Library"
+--------------------+ b/c it contains no kspread/LGPL code.

Is that compatible with the licenses?

Fred.
