I am somewhat concerned about the possibility of Adobe trying to take DNG 
out of the open arena, but there are DNG/RAW converters in the GPL / 
OpenSource realm, and I doubt their practical ability to shut the Linux 
community down, so? I'm not going to start running mass conversions just 
yet.? (I haven't seen any indication that they're actually moving that 
direction specifically... but there'd be a whole lot of people who'd be up 
against the wall if they did, and a HUGE amount of doubloons to be looted if 
they could get it....? and it looks like that's the entire idea now, so...)
