Hey thanks a ton. Was enlightening and i realize that i picked the wrong analogies. But i really wonder if i would/should stop all interaction with another computer user only because he is a victim of a software hoarder, by chance or choice or may be need! who knows? Or should we work towards supporting all the formats, that allow such interaction without any legal hassles at least! That seems to be a matter of personal preference! Anyways, this thread provided me with some more insight into the FOSS world and people dedicated towards it :) Nothing more to say on this thread, i guess. Signing off. :)
The problem is that formats that allow interaction without legal hassles are not a favourite with CSS companies, who create closed data formats that act like locks to your own data and they provide the keys to unlock the data after receiving the ransom. You will come across various opinions so you will have to make the choice after studying all angles. :)
