According to what definition of 'free standards'? > Some of those standards have IPR licenses that you don't like. Yes, and that would make them non-free to me. The copyright license also makes IETF standards non-free, and here at least one major GNU/Linux distribution agrees with me. Anyway, the point of having optional guidelines is that people who do not agree with the ideas behind the guidelines don't have to follow them. /Simon _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
