This would be very similar to the GIF format I believe. All CL is saying is that they own the structure and format, which since they created it.. They do. This whole thing is setup so that competitors or products that directly compete with poser would have to pay a license fee to use the CR2 format; and that's if that would even be an option. It's set up now to protect them possibly in the future. This I don't believe will effect editors and such like P-Wizard. I can't see CL knocking on the doors of their fan base since they have created the most amazing applications to work with (Not against or competing) Poser. Tom
