OpenDocument Now Published ISO Standard

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-long-long-road dept.

bobibobi writes "After months of revisions, OpenDocument receives status of a full published standard. The various stages of a standard's "stage code are also online." The OpenDocument standard has been developed by a variety of organizations and is publicly accessible. This means it can be implemented into any system, be it free software/open source or a closed proprietary product, without royalties.

Who cares if the office-file-formats, highly efficient and thoroughly documented on MSDN, are in every aspect superior to the bloated shitpiece sold as OD.
