This is not exactly a question on C++ std, rather it is a
"metaquestion" on C++ std.
The C++ ISO std has a copyright notice saying that "No part of this
publication may be reproduced in any form, including an electronic
retrieval system, without the prior written permission of ITI."
What does this exactly mean? Eg. Suppose I am writing a book on C++.
In my book, I will obviously explain only those things that are in the
standard (I cant invent things and tag them under the name of C++). So
does that mean I need to take a prior permission from the ITI before
writing any such book?
What about writing some article (say on c++-style-casts) in a journal?
on a blog?
May be in my book I will use a different wording at most places to
avoid any copyright violation. But for basic definitions etc, I will
have to use the exact wording from the standard. Also, at certain
places the standard gives very nice examples (code) to demonstrate.
Can't I use this code in my writeups to explain certain concept/idea?
