<p>...tak buduci tyzden to bude 30 rokov od vynalezu World Wide Web
v jednom renomovanom laboratoriu na hraniciach Svajciarska a
Francuzska. Chlieb sice nie je lacnejsi, ale myslim ze to boli
celkom dobre investovane peniaze :-)</p>

30 April 1993, CERN released the latest version of the WWW
software into the public domain and made it freely available
for anyone to use and improve. This decision encouraged the
use of the Web, and society to benefit from it: half of the
world’s population is now online, and close to 2 billion
websites exist. Openness has been endemic to CERN’s culture
ever since its Convention was signed in 1953. CERN promotes
the distribution and open sharing of software, technology,
publications and data, through initiatives such as open
source software, open hardware, open access publishing and
the CERN Open Data Portal.
