https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/FAQ.html Q: Do you have had mixed emotions about "cashing in" on the Web? A: Not really. It was simply that had the technology been proprietary, and in my total control, it would probably not have taken off. The decision to make the Web an open system was necessary for it to be universal. You can't propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it. I wonder if this might be closer to the reason that Xanadu didn't take off than "worse is better". Where is the Xanadu implementation we can hack on, other than an incomplete dump of code here http://udanax.xanadu.com/gold/download/index.html http://udanax.xanadu.com/gold/download/index.html built on a proprietary platform? Why is it that when I look up ZigZag I find an open source project that closed down over patenting concerns http://www.nongnu.org/gzz/ http://www.nongnu.org/gzz/ ?
