I believe that is correct. It seems an odd systems, but as I understand it, it’s not unusual to have free and paid for versions of specs with the same content. Openchain is, I believe, and example of same.

As in: violates UN Charter of Human Rights. If it doesn't wind up on the Publically Available Standards list, then I think it's just been killed as a specification. No open source person is going to buy the document. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
