Thanks for confirming my confusion, and letting me know that someone else is out there thinking about it. I am a lawyer, trying to learn about coding. (I have few (or none) software packages that do exactly what I want done, so someday I'll fix that.) This bundle is interesting, but I'm not going to spend time looking further with that crazy license as an obstacle to adapting the code to something useful. I suspect the license comes from a time when Microsoft was a bit less open minded. I wish the author would revisit the issue.

This has always been confusing to me as well regarding javascript. Unless you're running it on a node server, isn't it actually being "run" (to use their word) on the client computer? Your server is just "serving" the code that is to be run. I'm not a lawyer though.

@dgbutterworth @ZerdaH honestly the best approach is to just start a new library, from scratch. The DOCX format is defined in ECMA-376 and this new project can be licensed under Apache 2 (like what SheetJS did for XLSX) or MIT
