You may be right but another possibility is that the various wordprocessor
venders actually license their formats to the format filter producing
companie(s).

This must be true, and not just for now, but always.  Think about word
processors.  WordPerfect, MS-Word, etc. always allow the user to save and
import many file formats.  If they could be proprietary, they would be.
Same for SAS and SPSS, etc., in the statistical domain.  There are even
programs that work with hundreds of different formats and translate
between them.  No laws prevent it!

Go for it!
