<h1>FSFE's input on ICT standards for the Digital Single Market</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p newsteaser="yes"> FSFE provided the European Commission <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/ICT_priorities">input on setting priorities
|
|
in ICT standards</a> and answered to the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/public-consultation-priority-ict-standards-plan">public consultation on the adoption of a Priority ICT Standards Plan</a>
|
|
which has been proposed in the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>According to our position, and in line with our <a href="https://fsfe.org/activities/policy/eu/digital-single-market-comments.en.html">DSM
|
|
strategy evaluation</a>, priorities in standardisation must be set carefully.
|
|
FSFE believes following priorities at the EU level has to be set:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Promote standards that are open, minimalistic and implementable
|
|
with Free Software. These standards have proven to be sustainable,
|
|
interoperable, pro-competitive and transparent. These standards allow
|
|
actors of different size to easily adopt and implement them that in return
|
|
will guarantee widest competition of goods and services on the market,
|
|
and the widest proliferation of technology.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Use Free Software as reference implementation of the standard and
|
|
to make sure a reference implementation is published under a Free Software
|
|
licence, including all software that has been developed with public funds
|
|
to be released as Free Software. As a consequence, this practice will
|
|
contribute to digitisation of the European industries and an increase in digital skills amongst population.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Refrain from <a href="https://fsfe.org/activities/os/why-frand-is-bad-for-free-software.en.html">harmful FRAND licensing policies</a> in the field of software, internet
|
|
and web, as these areas have evolved and developed based on open standards
|
|
that are free from royalties and other restrictions.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
