if they didnt want them pirated they should have called them trade secrets instead???

true lol
from the perspective of megacorps, the reason standards orgs exist is that they cannot sit down and talk to each other without running into antitrust concerns. having a formal, documented process which nominally allows public participation (for people with money and respectability....) is a solution to this constraint.
all the public good from having standards exist in the world as something we can learn from and build on, is downstream from that
it just reminds me of how when you own a house in germany and do your electrical wiring yourself, no matter how you do it, nobody will insure you against damages resulting from the electrical wiring.... or something like that...
but when you do this training to be a handwerks meister... well obviously before you can become a master you must first become a geselle, and i think for that you need to be a lehrling for a couple years and learn the ropes, so yeah. its not impossible, just... find someone to take you up as a lehrling without working 8hours a day for them for a couple years...??? thats not how its done. at all. there is no school only thing either (well, there wasn't last time i checked, which was years or decades ago [what year is this?!?])... anyhow, once you become a handwerksmeister - elektriker or something like that, suddenly they accept that the same wiring is actually insurable since a handwerksmeister has said "ja, ess isch ok." even though it is the same that was put into the wall years/decades ago, untouched.
though this is hearsay and your milage may vary depending on what year you try this in your own property, also localized in germany, but it is about an uncle's or one of my fathers cousins house.. so, i mean, it's true.. somewhen, in germany, NRW....
ed: mean it all makes sense too if you think about it, but it sucks that you cant implement the standards you know since nobody will take them from you because you didnt pay the price.
we feel like there's this unfortunate three-way tension between
- safety (very important)
- the open knowledge movement and approaching the world with a spirit of creativity and a desire to do and know everything
- the labor movement and the history of guilds before the modern era and so on
and we don't know how to resolve it and we've positioned ourselves, both as an activist and in our career, such that we NEED to maintain this dialectic (trilectic?) and achieve some measure of synthesis
help welcome :)
im just glad software is still more open than that. imagine that but for software. ok, right, there is the world of db- and networking equipment -manufacturers who do special trainings and such but nobody takes those serious, right? right? and we all just call ourselfs teamplayers and agile and such but i hope being sloppy is ok too because i am very sloppy and being a human is stupid, i get playing musical instruments for fun but why do anything else really?
exactly <3
it needs to stay open. even as we institutionalize stuff meant to improve safety we have to resist structural forces which will cause harm in the other two areas. it is .... unprecedented, honestly, for an area of human endeavour to navigate that successfully. maybe writers are closest. but we feel a strong need for this to go better because so much of the stuff we love is possible due to that fluidity and lack of rigid structure.
so. here's hoping.
