*Patents*. Microsoft has patents that may cover your implementations
of the formats. Neither this notice nor Microsoft's delivery of the
documentation grants any licenses under those or any other Microsoft
patents. However, the formats may be covered by Microsoft's Open
Specification Promise (available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=114384>). If you would prefer
a written license, or if the formats are not covered by the OSP,
patent licenses are available by contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Could somebody elaborate what this means ........ msft MAY have
patents, format MAY be covered under Microsoft's Open Specification
Promise (available here: http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=114384>).

Every day, more and more do not deal with it. They're moving away from

To ALL: A relative newbie, to OOo, like me needs to know what impact
this will have on OOo for either Windows or Linux? If any, that is? :-(
If negative, I will disconnect from the internet and just carry on, with
what I have. :-( ;-)
