Right. And more importantly, if we had just given the copyrights to ISO
(which is the normal procedure), then the Standard would not be "open" in
any practical sense: you'd have to pay ISO in order to distribute it (with
some exceptions that have been created in recent years). As such, we've been
keeping the ISO and original versions of the Standard separate, and
maintaining the original "anyone may copy" wording.
My understanding was that this was vetted by MITRE's lawyers back in the
Corrigendum days (that's why the second set of wording is different than the
first); I've maintained the same wording on more recent editions but we
haven't rechecked if the "law" has changed significantly (I'm surely not a
lawyer, either, other than for Ada :-).
Randy.
