So it says in there, "This grant does not include use of DreamWorks Lossy 
Compression outside of the OpenEXR standard."

I'm working on a movie format that will, among other things, embed a sequence 
of EXR frames inside an MXF file.  I do intend to write complete EXR files, 
including headers.  Would this constitute operating within the OpenEXR 
standard, even if I'm using it as part of another standard?
