it is quite funny how standards that you have to pay for are considered open standards

like sure, they're not restricted by patents but if the standard costs over 200 GBP to purchase the text of, does that really matter

that probably makes webp the most commonly used free lossy image format (since it makes use of vp8, which is freely available, unlike jpeg? ISO is charging money for access to the jpeg standard, in any case, unsure if it's officially published anywhere else for free)

@5225225 i think png also has an officially freely available standard?

@5225225 200 is at the low end of this bullshit tbf but yea it's stupid

@5225225 JPEG is also an ITU-T standard, a copy of which is freely available from the W3C

JPEG XL, however, I haven’t been able to find even a draft of. Which is a shame since it’s otherwise probably the best image format

@unnick yeah, i specified lossy format because otherwise, yeah, it'd be png

jxl is also not a free spec
