MediaFire appears to use the same blurb for OOXML files (such as DOCX)
as well as ODF files (such as ODT):

About Document Formats

Microsoft published the specs for XML file formats in 2003 and
licensed them to competitors. Over the years there has been a push
toward an open standards environment, and currently Open XML and Open
Document Format (ODF) are at the forefront. The XML format is very
much in favor because data in a file can be reused. This reuse was not
possible with binary file formats. The XML format is expected to be
the future of document file formats.

In the case of OOXML, "Microsoft published the specs for XML file
formats in 2003 and licensed them to competitors" may be correct, but
I feel like that sentence is a bit misleading for ODF or other non-MS
XML document formats. Perhaps just dropping the sentence altogether
might be preferable.
