Just to be really clear here: DSON is an open format. An importer can be built just like for OBJ, LWO, FBX or Collada. It is entirely SM's choice to build or not build an importer.

It would be so if DSON documentation prominently showed some type of, e.g., Creative Commons Licensing like CC0. Lack of explicit licensing information is not public domain, it is a legal trap waiting for somebody to jump in.

Wavefront Object, FBX and LWO show no such licensing. The difference with using one of those licenses is that anyone can extend or change the format. See the various, incompatible, versions of Collada for what a trap that is.
