La licenza della MS su XPS č molto chiara ed č priva di condizionali. Direttamente dal sito della MS:
Licensing
Microsoft plans to freely license XPS technology to encourage its use as general-purpose documents. Microsoft will grant a royalty-free copyright license to copy, display, and distribute the XML Paper Specification. Microsoft will also grant a royalty-free patent license to read, write and render XPS Documents. Execution of the licenses will be straightforward and will not require the company to sign and return the license agreement. There will be a requirement that any XPS implementation that is distributed, licensed or sold contain a notice in the source code of the implementation indicating that Microsoft may have intellectual property associated with the implementation and to provide a link to where the license may be obtained from Microsoft. The patent license will also include a covenant not to sue provision for companies engaged in certain businesses; the provision contents and reasoning are explained below.
