PWG-ANNOUNCE> FW: ISO reaffirms free-of-charge use of its country, currency and language codes

Hi folks,

ISO has publicly stated that they will NOT charge royalties for
the use of ISO country, language, and currency codes.

The press release is well-written and worth reading (see link
below in Richard Ishida's message to the W3C I18N mailing list).

Cheers,
