"This is precisely why we need open data format legislation that requires
that ALL data formats be published openly. This legally required publishing
of data formats should be for the purpose of allowing other applications to
freely read and import data to facilitate the customers desired move to any
other program or platform they so desire without losing their data or
incurring prohibitive financial costs to do so..."
[...]
"This would make the customers data truly theirs and not held hostage by a
proprietary data format whether that proprietary format be one from an OS or
one from a software vendor."
