Funny you should mention that. I was talking to Quark a few weeks back
and while they didn't like the idea, they said they would let us licence
it at 25 quid per copy. Okay, it's not much, but I'd not like to it as
they also wanted some extra restrictions. It's one of those Catch 22
situations. While we have the right under EU law to reverse engineer the
file format, we wouldn't have the cash to defend ourselves in court...
