Looks like a much needed addition to Mac OS X--thanks to those who are
putting this together!
I have just one question. It's described as "open source," which is
great for something like this. But what license will it be distributed
under?

Nisus Software, The Omni Group, and Blacksmith announced LinkBack, a
new technology that brings embedded objects to the Mac OS X platform.
LinkBack makes it possible to edit text or graphics pasted from
another application by double-clicking on it. The technology will be
included in future releases of Nisus Writer Express, OmniOutliner,
OmniGraffle, and Chartsmith. It is also available today as an open
source SDK for use by other Mac developers at:
http://www.linkbackproject.org
Other technologies exist to do this, but none of them are widely
support at least in part because they take so much effort to implement
in your application. We designed LinkBack so that it takes the
minimal amount of work to integrate into your own application. If
your app is NSDocument based, it can happen in as little as a few
dozen lines of code.
We are releasing LinkBack open source to encourage as many developers
to support it as possible since this is good for all of our users. If
you do want to add support for LinkBack, be sure you let us know and
we will add your product to the LinkBack website's list of
applications.
Cheers,
