Hi Scott,
did I forget to mention that I were after ISO, DIN and Beuth? So for the non Germans lets forget about DIN and Beuth and focus on ISO. These kind of documents are not to be called: "royalty free", are not they?
So I read and scanned your text provided. And I found no explicit mention of this kinds of documents in these texts.
Is this kind of documents covered?
In (or outside of) what is document-freedom-days claiming "open standards"?

Hi Tom,
 
We’ve written some guidance on this topic:
 
http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2013/03/21/open-source-meets-open-standards/
 
http://oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/openstandardsopensource
 
There isn’t a single answer as different standards setting organisations have different rules, and different participation.
 
Hope this helps,
 
S

Hello people,
am I the only person on the planet who sees a connection
 
-of the vast nonexistence of free software in fields
-and this fields are governed -more or less- by standardization companies as Beuth-Verlag, who offers them standards for fee?
 
And therefore finds it necessary to solve the problem? 
Maybe not, maybe not even the first one.
So I ask here:
By which means could one a) and b) does one (fsf) usually tackle the problem?
For me to be able to support you.
Thanks in advance
