Indian standards
by BenCollver from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GKWA)
Here is an interesting comment on a story about ISO standards being behind a paywall.
In India a high court ruling means that Indian Standards are free - it's known as the 'Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information' clause. It's only meant to be free for educational purposes, but the practical effect is that all standards are free to all. If you know the Indian equivalent to the ISO, then they are also free.
