john palfrey leads the Digital Public Library of America (see the likeness?)
“we need a mechanism to start building, in an iterative fashion … on open-source code base, with metadata that is as open as we can make it, the materials openly available, and always “free to all”
free to all means capable of use without fear of copyright infringement
this requires:
(a) a registry of impeccable credential; and (b) legal means to defend it and its users against legal attack
we can do this
