His "answer" is a total wimp-out, I think. Among the many points you can raise (e.g. the fact that we already fund our national standard bodies with out taxes) it doesn't explain the outrageous price ISO is asking for the standard. I'm not against paying some amount, e.g. $20-$50 but $360 for a PDF sounds Microsoftian in its greed.
- Turing_Machine 15y agoI'd like to see an explanation of where, exactly, that money goes. The Sutter piece indicates that the people who actually work on the standard are volunteers, or nearly so.
- duncan_bayne 15y agoOh yeah, and he (Herb) says that he believes the standard will soon be available from ANSI for ~ $30.
