Screened out

I just tried very hard to purchase " ISO/IEC 42010 IEEE Std 1471-2000 Systems and software engineering - Recommended practice for architectural description of software-intensive systems"

I failed.

I need to join IEEE (How much does it cost? That information was not prominent on the home page), and pay further for digital subscriber privileges (How much does that cost?).

Given 40 years of hand-wringing about poor software construction practices, such document probably ought to be issued under a Creative Commons license.
