It's only going away for new software if the lawyer for the ISO is an idiot. Laches, failure to protect a patent, etc. The deal is, new management came in and started this up after the company literally abandoned the patent. Its public domain now by any sense of the word and anyone that thinks they can stop this freight train is nuts. If a court rules against the ISO standard, then its gonna be for one reason only - stupidity. I cannot think of a more clear cut example of public domain than this.
