More to the point, what license is it under?

Fine, Novell's done the initial coding, but what are the odds of it being released under the GPL?

If they do, then all's fine and dandy, but if there are undocumented binary only protocols, with patent encumbered licenses, then I for one will place it in the same plague pit as OOXML.

As a Firefox user, I hate the way that flash player overrides Firefoxes right mouse button context menu, as I often want to open such items in another tab and flash, java, ASP and other such plugin technologies prevent me from doing so.
