A significant change of objective has quietly happened to the #standards system in #Europe, with the transformation of standards from a tool to promote #interoperability to a mechanism to comply with the law. Yet the toleration of #patents in standards remains, meaning complying with the law may require a relationship with the corporations controlling the market. Surely this is anti-competitive and reverses the very purpose of standards? https://opensource.org/blog/standards-and-the-presumption-of-conformity #Policy #CRA
