Why Open Standards Power Compliance
summary
Linux Foundation data: 1,300+ projects, 4M developers trained, 89M lines of code added weekly, and an ROI example where $3.9B invested yields $23.2B benefits (≈6×). The State of Open Standards report finds 80% say standardization makes compliance easier and 50% join standards work to shape regulation. Examples: JDF’s “standards organization in a box” (200+ active projects), harmonized standards feeding CRA notified-body assessments (see Annex 8), and concrete asks: remove paywalls, publish drafts, and allow direct references to open source.
