Can someone explain why the Wikimedia Commons accepts uploads of printable PDF documents (e.g. brochures) but not the editable source version in Open Document Format (e.g. .ODT). This seems to violate the open source principle.
The reasons are of a practical nature. ODT files are hard(er) to varify, because they are just zip files that could contain anything. Also, they can contain things like java applets, which are potentially dangerous. I think these are the resons for not allowing office-style formats. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
