I'm going to finalize my own issue here with my own experiance with CL and copyright issues. After this I may not post again. This could also help you see just how good a company CL is. Back during first release of the P-Wizard it went by another name. This name was Poser Wizard. Now due to the name Poser being used, Steve Cooper himself contacted me, not his lawyers, not his staff but he himself. To summerize, after a few e-mails and phone calls over the course of only 2 days we both gladly agreed to just change the name. We agreed that the Poser name was a registered trademark for his company and that I should be able to release my utilities. They prefer not to play hardball and will take the path of least resistance and not cost either part additional cash. This ended up helping us both, and Steve actually apologized for needing to request that change but felt that he needed to protect CL's interest in the trademark. So even with thier claim of owning the CR2 format, I highly doubt that they will enforce it if it is used in a non-competing manner.
