The funny thing is that Tim Berners-Lee used the same kind of problem to advocate for publishing the web in public domain. He realized that CERN won't give him more resources to create and maintain browsers for each platform used at CERN (CERN was fully focused planning and approval of LHC), so he decided to release libww library in public domain which allowed others outside CERN to build web browsers themselves. That's how the early browsers like ViolaWWW, MidasWWW, Lynx or Mosaic were created.
