Effects of Open XML SDK going open source?

Recently the Open XML SDK went open source.

How will this affect linux office suites such as LibreOffice and Calligra? Does this mean that import/export filters will be dramatically improved? I may be way off on my interpretation so if anyone in the know could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

I think it's better to ask the question either at libreoffice.org or openoffice.org forums and I think people/developers will answer you to use ODF and other open standards.
