well I guess innovation has a price (or maybe a cost). And as long as ISO puts up a paywall they have determined by market forces what that cost is.

My perspective on this idea is that altruism is dead when it comes to open source. Peoples work needs to be paid for. Weather its ISO or the guy creating a program using it. We are not to be slaves to the future and I dont wish that for future devs. Making a profit isnt evil but wanting others work for free is selfish. People can always make their own standards and come together across nations and do the work. But they much rather cry and call hardworking people bad.

Tim is trying to save a buck I bet.

I'm fairly confident that Epic Games don't have any issues paying a few thousand dollars for any ISO standard they wish to have access to.
