ISO standards should be free. Who is going to paid the employees of ISO organisation? 5G Patents are scam, why should they charge for standards usage? Who is paying for the Tech innovation within University Research and Telecom Industry spending billions every year. And the list goes on and on.
There is clearly lots of value these brings to the table. I just dont understand why they should be free. And Why is this Intel Software activated Hardware Rent Seeking? The BOM cost of an Intel 10nm inclusive of testing and packing without their Foundry margin is practically a few dollars per core. One could even argue have all the different SKUS have different set of operational complexities. So why is this wrong?
Seems like a strange place to vent arguments for an unrelated discussion, then.

It's not. But if it's charged on a subscription basis, it obviously is.
Sort of. But all the examples I gave were mainstream comments on HN. And in many cases I would argue they are the only allowed views on HN judging from downvotes. ( Along with the rest of the internet )
How do you conclude like that from the current discussion? People seem to be arguing that they should be able to own things. Not that the things should be free. Do charge me extra for that extra hardware feature, but don't do so monthly.
