They seem to be very friendly and open about it: >From http://partners.adobe.com/asn/photoshop/index.jsp "Q: Why is Adobe changing the policy on how the Photoshop SDK is distributed? A: The Photoshop SDK contains Adobe-owned intellectual property and for that reason, Adobe needs to capture and verify contact information for every party that desires to use this developer kit for business or personal use." By bundling TIFF into it they are doing a "nice" service to spread the format and make everyone have compatible readers and writers. At least it seems clear, it is about lawyers not about technology.
