The exception is citing - e.g. if you want to

need a copy of the standard.
You can't do that with an ISO document. ISO does not permit copying
of their material. You can, of course, cite the section (and
paragraph, note, etc.) in code - for which you would need the PDF
standard itself.
Copying is obviously not allowed. But that copyright holders are able
to prevent citation of extracts surprises me. I'm used to German law §
51 UrhG, which explicitly allows citing excerpts of copyrighted
material without acknowledgement from authors (with some if's and
when's, but should apply here). Is this different in other countries?
How does this work on international stage?
In [0], ISO/IEC allow citation conditionally. See "Extracting parts of
a standard for inclusion in the company's internal documentation,
user’s guide or manuals", and "Including parts of a standard in books
or software applications". Anyway, would be really sad if we're not
allowed to do it.
Ah, sorry, maybe we misunderstood? In my example I meant this: While we
own a copy (using the licensing model explained earlier in this thread),
we're allowed to cite extracts. While not, we're not allowed to cite. I
didn't mean to copy anything without owning a copy.
