ETSI/CEN/CENELEC assert copyright on the standard. Filing a deletion request for transparency and wider discussion. Nemo 13:06, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Keep The file is ineligible for copyright because it's part of EU law, as a consequence of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies. Today's ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (press release) unequivocally determined that «a harmonised standard, adopted on the basis of a directive [...] forms part of EU law». ETSI states that this is a harmonised standard; the European Commission agrees and has published it in the official journal of the European Union. Copyright law of various EU member states explicitly states that the law is ineligible for copyright (for example article 5 of law 633/1941 in Italy); for lack of an eligible author under article 3 of the Berne convention, such works are also in the public domain in other signatory states like the USA. (It's safe to assume that ETSI/CEN/CENELEC and the EC will attempt a narrow reading of this ruling at lower levels. Nominally it was a ruling about an access request for a single standard, not on copyright status of the entire body of standards.) Nemo 13:11, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Notified at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Nemo 13:21, 5 March 2024 (UTC)- Keep for now, its too soon to get any clarity on the final outcome as Nemo says it PD in the USA anyway. (oops, Gnangarra) 14:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per nameless (Gnangarra). Wait until the final outcome comes out. Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 15:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - today's verdict declares harmonized standards to be part of the law, therefore they are ineligible for copyright and in the public domain. --h-stt !? 17:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Kept: Speedy kept: request seems to be withdrawn by the nominator. @Nemo: if you think that it should be deleted, please nominate again with proper deletion reason, which "transparency" is not; see COM:D. --Ankry (talk) 21:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- The (definitely valid) reason for deletion was "ETSI/CEN/CENELEC assert copyright on the standard". Nemo 17:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
