The two ANSI/IEEE documents I have in my office are copyright IEEE.
Tne several ISO documents I have are copyright ISO.  The CCITT
Fascicles are copyright ITU.  The ANSI catalogue is copyright ANSI.
The ISO catalogue is copyright ISO.  The ISO Bulletin for Dec. 86
does not have a copyright (at least not that I found `?^)~ ).
Naturally, the international standards organizations use the
circle-c and don't bother to say "copyright".  So look carefully.
I think you'll find that most of these standards are copyrighted.
