[ Regarding UPS-style "bar" codes ]
Wow, these guys seem very committed to open standards. Very refreshing.
>From the FAQ:
Q. Is a license required to use MaxiCode?
A. No. MaxiCode is a public domain symbology and no license is required
in order to use it.
Q. Who should I contact in order to obtain a license to use MaxiCode?
A. No one. Hang up the phone. MaxiCode is a public domain symbology and
no license is required in order to use it.
:-) And best yet, further down...
Q. What's the cost to obtain a license to use MaxiCode?
A. Come closer. (closer.) MaxiCode is a public domain symbology!!! This means
no license is required to use it. You don't have to ask permission. You don't
have to pay anybody. Just use it, and be comfortable in the knowledge that
indeed some of the best things in life ARE free!
All seems very refreshing. It looks like it might be a little difficult
to get your hands on the actually standard without paying money, though.
Hopefully, that's not the case.
