KOffice falls out due to license issues - unfortunately.

Has anybody figured out what kind of license is? GPL, LGPL, ... ?
I would like to include all the "open source" tools/libraries we talk about into wikis so when needed one can find them in one place.
EDIT: What are the KOffice license issues?

From http://www.koffice.org/contribute/:
bq. KOffice is released under the LGPL v2+ (and GPL v2+ for some parts).

Why was that a problem then? Can't get much more flexible than that (unles you are looking for the one part that is only GPL and you want to release a closed source app).
EDIT: before I get screamed at: warning: I don't have any idea of the details about "v2+"

I'd have to extract the parts I need, remove the KDE stuff (not available on Windows and Mac) and publish it as a new LGPL project. We do not have the time for that at the moment and it's not on top of the want-have list of the customer.

I see.... so the issue is not exactly with the license...

The license is one of the issues. Nevermind, I have some hints I will dig into further if I ever have some spare time.

Volker, as your successes with excel?
I use libxls, but some excel's files in russian language not read correctly (I realized because of the inability to convert data from a file in UTF-16). If you have any achievements, can you tell us about them? -

I did not look into libxls yet, so sorry, no advice from my side.

Hi,
a lot of development has been done during the last year on the Calligra Suite filters. Calligra Suite is the fork of KOffice. You can use the koconverter to do batch conversions to ODF. However the excel filter does not follow the koconverter approach at moment. Please discuss at the #calligra channel at
freenode.Consider that any of the binary files in {.doc, .ppt, .xls} use the Compound File Binary File Format.
On top of it any graphics are stored in containers described by the MS-ODRAW spec. You can reuse libmso from Calligra Suite to parse and convert MS-ODRAW content to ODF. libmso makes use of msoscheme (http://gitorious.org/msoscheme) to parse the MS-ODRAW content. Also MS-PPT containers are parsed by msoscheme.Office Open XML support has been also improved a lot. Use the #calligra channel to discuss the details.

Does anyone try using QSqlDatabase to do the work?

You would need an SQL driver for that. I don't know of any one - do you do?

What are you refering to now exactly? The original question (Excel), or something else?Because for Excel, you can actually use the QODBC drivers if you want.
