Standards shoud be royalty free!

Progenitor is an open source developing company that works with
implementing free software solutions for the school society. We are very
pleased to see the continuation of royalty-free standards, as such a
standard would greatly harden our work to bring affordable networking
solutions and software to those who need it! A standard should be open
and free, because that's what define what a standard is. If it's
non-free it cannot be implemented by everyone. Other free solutions will
be brought forward and that way ruining the entire concept of standards.
As some enlightened person expressed - "Standards are great - to bad
there are so many". 

Keep up the good work!
