Dear Jeff, This is excellent news about your plans to release the Preview stylesheets on Github. Kevin raised the interesting question of whether there are any IP restrictions (due to explicit or implicit copyrights to the work) that would hinder or prevent forking and then distributing modifications. Can you comment on that?
