    We don't know that it will be proprietary.

    Adobe has traditionally understood the value of releasing full file specifications under a non-restrictive license, as they have done with PDF and PS.

    They have no motivation to make this standard proprietary, if they did that, digital camera makers wouldn't use it! All signs point to them making this one completely open.
