I had set up a check, but forgot to properly enable it :/ It's now fixed, so Wiki-Bot will now warn about embedded ZIP based files. Using it for hybrid pdf-odf is useful, but has also been used for abuse in the past.

I did reply and filled in a license spec. You didn't contact me about anything after I send the mail. You confirmed you've received it and it must be good now, otherwise ask me on www.hypercustom.com. Help, suggest and I'll confirm all needed licenses. Keep in mind I've to deal with English, while I'm Dutch, so it's easy for you to corner me with difficult words.

It means: You are allowed to use it in every way, I don't care which license you propose and I'll agree on every needed one. I'm Dutch not native English. Can you understand this is limiting my language and explanations?
