    "We are acknowledging that end users who merely open and read government documents that are saved as Office XML files within software programs will not violate the license."

    Unless I've purchased software from MS, I'm not bound by any sort of license restrictions MS wants to impose on its customers, even assuming they even have the right to impose that restriction.

    But of course, MS 'allowing' non-MS software to read its formats, and actually *documenting* the format so as to actually enable that, are two entirely different things.
