From the Paper:

"In conjunction with his colleagues at CERN, Europe's foremost scientific research center, Tim Berners-Lee developed and first introduced a text-based Web browser in 1991, choosing to make the browser public-domain technology as rapidly as possible despite many lucrative offers to sell his patents. He was invited in 1994 to join MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science as Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a leadership role he continues in today. He is one of the most celebrated and awarded scientists of this age, and is most respected for his passionate pursuit of keeping Web technologies royalty-free, so as to keep the Internet a public resource for anyone who wants to access and use it."
