To avoid a possible misunderstanding: what I mean is that if a format is 
becoming the native format of a KOffice application we must be more careful 
about the license of the file format than if we only want to make a filter.

(A filter can always be dropped when it is getting too hot but it is difficult 
when it is the main file format. (For example see the (now expiring) LZW 
patent, in GIF, TIFF and what consequences it had.))
