So, as to what I have read and understand to the article that I have read, it states their that the distribution of standards which are created by developers of standards are of intellectual property (are legal property right over creations of the mind, both artistic and commercial, and the corresponding fields of law.) just like any other publications which are protected by copyright laws and international treaties. Except for those central governments who produces standards (public domain) which are not amenable to any copyright law.
Before SSO exists, their where lots of standards organizations existing but because of the fast evolution of technology existing standards organizations having hard times in dealing with it, that is why the SSO was created as new class of standard setters.
The scope of work of SSO: The developers of technical standards are generally concerned with interface standards, which detail how products interconnect with one another, and safety standards, which establish characteristics required for a product or process to be safe for the humans, animals and environment. The subject of their work can be narrow or broad.
So to the question, what is the relation of SSO to open source is that (based on my understanding) it is clearly connected since all open source of even propriety softwares needs standards inorder for it to fit to human need. I agree with what Mr. Mejares has said "They are only concerned about creating a "Standard". So in effect you could say that the SSO created the Universal Standard and both the proprietary sector and the "open" groups incorporate these "universal" standards into their products."
