Hello,
An interesting Slashdot article:

Torvalds launched a blast against OpenOffice.org, and defended
Microsoft's right to keep its binary Office formats proprietary. 'I'm
happy with somebody writing a free replacement for Microsoft Office. But
I'm not fine with them writing a free replacement just by reverse
egineering the proprietary formats,' said the Linux founder. 'Microsoft
has its own reasons for keeping them proprietary, and I can't argue with
that.'
