I've followed the discussion about the price of OSI standards. Since I'm involved in the standardization process within ISO, I know a little about the way standards are made. The fact that you have to pay for OSI standards is financial. The profits from selling standards are used to finance the ISO secretariats. NB: People doing technical work are not paid by ISO but by their employer. This way, thechnical work is not biased by the funding of ISO. Personal suggestion (without any claim) : Maybe you can donate some money to ISO so they can lower their price. They might accept it, provided you give it without any conditions.
