Slide 9: THE « STANDIPRs » ECOSYSTEM & OPEN SOURCE …. SO WHAT ?  « OPEN » REFER TO DIFFERENT THINGS !      A Specific Standardisation Process? A Certain access to IPRs, to knowledge? IPRs for « free » A Way of working / Methodology? A Business Model?  « SOURCE » REFER TO SOURCE CODE  Open Source is the availability of source code  Mainly a matter of Copyright  What is the standardisation philosophy re source code ? • « Off the Shelf » v.
