On 30 April 1993, the CERN particle physics lab (in Switzerland) granted full public rights to Tim Berners-Lee for the network protocols (http://, etc.) that he developed. This event can be called "Web Freedom Day" because those protocols became the foundation for the World Wide Web, making that communication channel free to everyone, everywhere. By 1995, the earliest Web browsers named Netscape and Internet Explorer were becoming common on personal computers. My tie shows many strings like Web addresses, as the background for cavorting Looney Tunes characters!
