As far as standards and protocols are concerned, the story of the Internet is one of free software. But its popularity and potential make big firms jealous. They would like to claim control of it by establishing closed code in locked systems that are not interoperable. To keep the Internet faithful to the founding principles which led to its success, it is important that there should be free apps on the Internet, that is to say, apps with opensource codes, accessible under free license.
Hvad angår standarder og protokoller, er historien om internettet en historie om fri software. Men dens popularitet og potentiale gør store virksomheder jaloux. De vil gerne kræve kontrol over det ved at etablere lukket kode i aflåste systemer, der ikke er interoperable. For at holde internettet tro mod de grundlæggende principper, der førte til dets succes, er det vigtigt, at der er frie apps på internettet, det vil sige apps med open source kode, tilgængelige under fri licens.
