The LLVM Foundation is drafting a statement supporting open access to ISO standards documents after ISO announced plans to restrict access to committee documents that were previously available. This move could significantly impact open source communities that rely on these standards for compiler development and language implementations. The RFC seeks community input on the foundation's position before submitting the testimonial to ISO by June 4th.
Background
ISO and IEC standards documents, including working drafts and committee documents, have been historically accessible but are now at risk of being restricted, which could impact open source development communities that rely on these standards for compiler and language implementation work.
