>The cornerstone of open source philosophy is that the recipients of technology should have access to all of its building blocks, such as software code, schematics for electronics and mechanical designs. This lets everyone study, modify and redistribute the technology to others.
Since releasing the World Wide Web software under an open source licence in 1994, CERN has continued to be a pioneer in the field of open source. This has included promoting the use of open source hardware (through the CERN Open Hardware Licence) and free and open source software, as well as supporting open access publishing (through the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics – SCOAP³ ) and promoting open data (through the Open Data Portal for the LHC experiments). All these activities feature prominently in CERN’s Open Science Policy.
