.docx (Office Open XML) isn't propertiary, it's an open standard.

True, that was a bad example, but honestly it's irrelevant. Same point could be made about .doc when it was reversed back when. I thought there was even a court case about someone reverse engineering .doc a while back, but I can't find it right now.

It's a bad open standard though - microsoft basically stacked ISO to push it through.
