I am interested in placing the current version of
a draft standard from IEEE 802.6 in a public ftp site. Does
anyone know of any other ANSI/IEEE groups that do this? If not,
is there any known legal problem? If this is done elsewhere,
which sites are currently being used?
I was under the impression that the IEEE does *NOT* make standards available
electronically for two basic reasons: (1) Money - the revenue from selling
the standards goes to support the standards process and (2) the difficulty of
ensuring that the standard you get is in fact the correct, unadulterated
standard.
