ICT standardisation requires a balanced IPR [intellectual property rights]
policy, based on FRAND licensing terms.
FRAND licensing—the acronym stands for "fair, reasonable, and
non-discriminatory"—is incompatible with open source, which will therefore find
itself excluded from much of the EU's grand new Digital Single Market strategy.
Is this simple stupidity or is there some old-fashioned wrong-doing being
perpertraded?
Anyone familiar with this process in this list who could provide a bit more
insight?
