Audience -- Conditions

Anticipated audience

The public information provided today on the Internet * is free. It is aimed at academic and educational use, but there are many governmental and commercial bodies using the Internet. W3 addresses primarily the academic and educational world, but companies can benefit from its use in-house to maintain, read, write and publish documents. Any public or private body whose members are dispersed over a wide area and have network access has a use for W3.

The interested parties are either developers or users. Users acquire the software under conditions given below, developers can either acquire rights as set forth below, or join in a more tight collaboration with CERN, through the W3 Consortium.
