My copy of Oxford defines open as: unconcealed circumstances or condition. Way back in the day when the GNU operating system was getting going, they coined the mantra: Free software is a matter of liberty, not price.

Just as important are standards, and, more important following those standards. Today, in Computerworld, a different issue has been raised. The value of standards.

Introducing:"The Monday Witness"

Relevance: 6.42
Regular readers will know that my interest in standards is not limited to those that help make information and communications technology work. Over the years I've written about standards created to address concerns more directly relevant to the human condition, such as human rights standards, social responsibility standards, and much more.
