Post by CERN

On this day, 33 years ago, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Proposed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web was originally created to allow scientists and institutes working on CERN data to share information accurately and quickly from across the globe. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, to maximise its dissemination.
