That's what I was thinking, because that's the only way I could make sense of the original sentence in Jeff's email. The full quote: "... it must be demonstratable that open content can be created for consumption by the code in question. Such open data does not need to be created using open tools, though of course that is preferable." I was thinking that 'demonstratable that open content can be created' was sufficient, and the second sentence therefore was redundant, since under no conditions that I could think of can you demonstrate the creation of open content only with proprietary tools.
