  1. Do standards cost to much for the open source? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One of the problems with standards is the fact that they cost too damn much especially for free or open software users. I usually try to collect the last publicly available draft or copy that was used for voting and do my work with that. This has worked pretty well the the IEEE 802 standards and the SCSI and FireWire standards. Anybody have a link to such a copy of this standard?
