I have only a few comments:
* The foreign extension to R, if it's the code I'm
thinking of, was actually derived from PSPP source
code, so it's not really a second source.
* I don't think it's safe to include bulk text from the
"SPSS Data File Format" PDF. That PDF follows the same
style as much of the other SPSS documentation, and so I
had always assumed that it was owned by SPSS. At any
rate it has no stated license.
