FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Principles for Research Software - A1.1. The protocol is open, free, and universally implementable

This FAIRsharing record describes: 'A1.1. The protocol is open, free, and universally implementable' states that it is the openness of the communications protocol (including the resolver for the identifier) that is important, not the implementation of the infrastructure that supports it. Here “open” means that there are no restrictions to implementing it and “free” means that there are no fees or licensing costs to implement it.
