Hi Jil,
I searched both links (in French) for "propriétaire", "format", "drm",
"ouvert" (open) and "éditeur" without success; I can't find any
information about a mandatory open format, or anything about formats
either...
@Jil or @Nico Rikken, can you quote the exact part of the text you're
referring to? I can then translate for everyone if necessary.
Cheers,
Nico
