[Free-sklyarov-uk] ISO to withdraw JPEG standard if Forgent defends its IP claim

"Under ISO terms, formally you can only have a standard you can 
implement on free or RAND terms. "Reasonable and non discriminatory 
(RAND) terms are typically published, and the same for everyone. It's 
clear that Forgent's claims are not RAND. $15 million doesn't sound like 
free to me, and Forgent is not publishing the terms of their licensing."
