   ISO does allow free distribution of standards.  It's just that it has   
   to be negotiated upfront.  Now it's too late, of course.   
      
   On the other hand, almost everybody in the C++ community hopes that   
   the FDIS continues to leak to the Internet and is consulted by   
   programmers because everything else would have a disastrous impact on   
   adoption.
