    Not really. “Industry standard” just means it’s commonly used in the industry. “Open specification” is the opposite of “vendor locked”, e.g. OAuth for authentication.

      Industry standard is generally an open standard. Proprietary is what you and meme/op are thinking.

        No, sorry, you’re just wrong. An “industry standard” can be anything that’s normal in an industry, e.g. a particular tool. Photoshop for example is an industry standard, but it’s not an open standard in any way.

          What it means is context driven. I didn’t see this was an “industry standard” vs an alternative/gimp.

            Okay, but we’re in the context of “tools being industry standards”, as GP mentioned KeyCloak. That’s not a standard/specification, it’s a tool.

            And of course Photoshop is an industry standard.
