[Formati] La dichiarazione d'indipendenza dell'Open Group

[Andrea Glorioso]

Ciao a tutti.

L'Open Group e` un consorzio di entita` che promuove, tra gli altri,
lo standard POSIX.

Recentemente ha  pubblicato  una  "dichiarazione di   indipendenza per
l'IT":

http://www.opengroup.org/declaration/declaration.htm

  The information    technology industry    has  a  potential   future
  characterized  by universal and  affordable  access to technologies,
  free flow     of information   through  interoperability,   and  the
  liberation      from   dependence  on      proprietary  or    legacy
  software. Central to realizing this promise is  the concept of "open
  standards,"   meaning,  in  part,   technology standards   that  are
  documented, available for all to use, and free of charge. Widespread
  adoption of this concept by corporations, businesses, organizations,
  and  individuals will promote a fair  competitive marketplace - thus
  allowing all parties to compete  equally from the  basis of a shared
  technology   foundation and  framework.  For  the first  time in the
  history of  the industry,  IT infrastructure will   be based on open
  standards rather than  closed,  proprietary architectures controlled
  by a single organization.

  We, the Undersigned,

  [...]

  SOLEMNLY PROCLAIM the necessity of creating, adopting, and promoting
  open standards  to offer freedom  of choice, provide unrestricted IT
  access,  ensure fairness and  competition, meet end-user demands for
  interoperability,  create  an  enabling environment   at all levels,
  accelerate the development and dissemination of new IT applications;
  and enhance global cooperation.

Ciao,
