So you're making the claim that the file
formats are fully open,=20
fully documented, and anyone can extract the data at any time,=20
regardless of the status of KryoFlux Ltd?
Hi Dave,
yes - that was the intention of putting the source up there. The old =
licence will be tidied up more and more, but again, to make something =
available now, the IPF source was released with a very short and =
permissive licence.
I would also like to point out that there's a very informative =
third-party website around that's run by Jean Louis-Guerin. He's helping =
with seeing things from the user side. You tend to become blind for the =
obvious when you do things for a long time.

There's much free info there, and it also has another document on the =
STREAM format produced by KryoFlux. Someone mentioned he'd regard the =
file format as documentation (which would then be covered by the =
licence), so here's an independent source:
Howeve, I am sure tht could be taken to be a derriveative work, and as
such covered in parrt by the licence in question. I know you don't intend
that, but it is not at all clear how a future owner of your technology
could react. I';d certainly want things a lot clearer before I made use
of the STRAM formet.
