Funny. Xara is not a complete open source program, and so it does not support open format. And so, bye!

XaraLX is complete open source. There's not a tiny proprietary bit that I'm aware of.

"The Xara LX source code is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)."

The wikipedia page describes multiple products. Some of them, Like Xtreme are proprietary, while Xtreme LX is comletely open source.
In other words, entire source code of the Xtreme LX is open and released under GNU. It does not use any proprietary code.
The Windows Xtreme is a different product with different licensing.
But I though you were talking about LX, don't you?

John the CDraw code is proprietary and has been the reason many Linux developers have not wanted to contribute.

The linux developers wanted access to the CDraw code which Xara Group Ltd. is understandably unwilling to release as open source. That would be like willingly putting themselves out of business.

Although the open source Cairo could be used to continue the Linux development by 3rd party coders. No one seems to want to use code that is not up to CDraw's abilities.
