Open standard

Is Digital Command Control really an open standard as claimed on Trainmaster Command Control and Hornby Railways? Quoting MTH Electric Trains:

MTH has also traded lawsuits with Quantum Sound Industries, whose technology is used to add electronic sound to model locomotives from various manufacturers. MTH's critics also say the company patented some elements of DCC, which was supposed to be an unencumbered open standard.

Well, unless MTH starts demanding license fees from other DCC manufacturers, I'd say it's pretty free. --Agamemnon2 13:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
