Aha!  Bing!  That's how you do it!  You publish the data in a special 
open source format, which is unusable by Windows applications.  Sure,
somebody in the open source world might create a format converter, but 
why would they bother?  Even if they did, you're selling the "real"
dataset, not an in-coverted one.
