Hi Ed:
LinkBack is currently distributed under the BSD license.

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,
