I have develop a commercial data wrangling tool (Easy Data Transform) that outputs data tables to CSV, Excel, markdown, XML, JSON etc. It would be neat to support output to some of the other formats supported by Pandoc, such as DOCX, PPTX, PDF, Latex etc. Has anyone tried integrating the Pandoc command line tool into a desktop product on Windows or Mac? How big is it? What are the licensing implications of shipping it with my (closed source) software?

(not a lawyer, not legal advice) With Pandoc being GPLv3 you can't just link it with your software. Distributing pandoc standalone (different, unmodified binary) and calling it from your software should be okay as they're technically different programs. Probably requires further investigation and maybe a lawyer though.
