Like K mount lenses when first introduced or what four thirds would like to be now, it seems to be a very positive development. Saludos!

It could be seen as a generous donation, but for a consensual standard I do understand something like the RFCs, a public and well discussed document prior to any offering or implementation. BTW I'm not saying that DNG is bad itself, only that it looks more like a "open patent" than a common ground for everyone. Said that, I also think that's the way to follow once it's there just because it makes more sense than what's out there right now.
