Subject:Re: Seeking info on IEEE-1063 standard From:Iliana Kostova <i_kostadinova -at- prosyst -dot- bg> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 13 Aug 2004 09:57:53 +0300
Hi all!
I completely agree that standards should be available for free, but for
example certification for a standard should be paid (e.g. upnp.org). In
particular, I'm focusing on IEEE - they have other sources for gaining
such as membership fees, etc. Most organization distribute the
standards they produce for free with some legal disclaimers granting
relatively free usage and distribution.
Besides, the standard we have exchanged in this thread is a draft - we
use drafts mostly to learn what standards will look like. As far as I
know a draft can hardly serve as an official reference point in a
company of true professionals.
Another reason for me to request this draft was that I got really
curious to look at a "standard" for user documentation.
