Thank you. The openmcdf is awesome.

I want to publish the custom openmcdf version which is only support read. It will be used to read the Excel file which embedded in pptx file.

The Excel file which embedded in pptx file will be limited, and the stream of the ole file is non-seekable stream. It means I have to break the openmcdf design to support it.

I will cut the feature of "Write" to support it. And I want to publish it as other version or other name.

Can I do that? Any special license should I use?

Sorry @lindexi if i didn't answer you before. OpenMcdf is MPL licensed so derived works should be under MPL license too. Anyway it can be incorporated in proprietary project without the need for all the project being under MPL license. Best Regards, Federico
