I'll take a swing at those two, Derek.
I'm pretty sure that LRF support can be done without Windows specific anything since the Reader itself runs a variant of Linux as its OS, so that falls into the category of (I actually get to use this correctly!)
Q.E.D. 
I do believe (though let me be clear that it's my opinion, and even I recognize that it could be wrong, but don't tell my brothers I said any such thing!) that Sony would
love to license the BBeB format to its competitors. I expect that
everyone who has come up with a proprietary format has done so with the hope, however secret, that
their format might become the 'standard' format. Otherwise, why not just use an existing one?
