license of the plist format



Hi list,

I appologize in advance: This may be slightly off-topic here, but I have not 
found a list, where it suits better.

I want to write an application licensed under the GPL which will run on Linux, 
Windows and Mac OS X. Since my application is going to use configuration 
files, I looked for a format already in use, so I would not have to reinvent 
the wheel. I found the plist format used by Apple and I like it.

But since my application will have to run on platforms other than Mac OS X, I 
will need to implement my own plist parser, so the question arises, what 
license the plist format is bound to? Can I read and write Apple-style plists 
from GPL'ed code and can I include the link to the DTD 
("http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";) into the plists my 
application creates?

Thanks for any help.

Michael Roitzsch
