I filed a feature request to FBReader to support the LIT format (since the convertlit source is available), but they seemed to feel there would be "problems with re-distribution of the module." I suppose someone could make an add-on for FBReader, but if it doesn't come installed on the unit, most folks aren't likely to figure out how to install it (and I'm not talking about the folks here, obviously). It's interesting that the ProcessText folks are distributing a LIT converter, though. They don't charge for that one, but they do sell their other converters, so they'd be fairly easy to track down if someone wanted to make a stink. I wonder if DMCA protection starts to weaken if not enforced, like brand protection?

LIT is owned by MS. They might have pointed to Process Text that they can't make money of it 'Or Else'!!?!!
