I received a request for the Framemaker source text of the forthcoming ISO/IEC 1989 (programming language COBOL). The requestor is a participant in SC22/WG4 who is writing a book on COBOL and would like to copy the source text of COBOL syntax diagrams directly into the text of his book. I consider it not within my authority to give out the source text. Can you provide me with a statement of ISO policy on giving out the source text?
