The Document Foundation has launched the Document Liberation Project. "The
Document Liberation Project was created in the hope that it would empower
individuals, organizations, and governments to recover their data from
proprietary formats and provide a mechanism to transition that data into open
file formats, returning effective control over the content from computer
companies to the actual authors. Since the birth of LibreOffice in 2010,
several community members have taken it upon themselves to improve format
interoperability with proprietary applications. Encouraged by community
interest, even from outside the LibreOffice project, the developers have so
far provided read support for proprietary file formats including MS Visio,
CorelDraw, MS Publisher, Apple Keynote, and a handful of different old
Macintosh formats. In addition to LibreOffice, import libraries for these
file formats are used by Abiword, Calligra, CorelDRAW File Viewer, Inkscape
and Scribus."
