This is probably a controversial idea. But I got no discussion. What do you
think?
I am thinking the only proper way to use the web is by 1) warning the user when
they're about to open a page whose markup or content is non-free (there are
licence attribute for this in the standard) and 2) providing easy means to
re-publish (distribute) those web pages which are free, such as by writing a
gnunet addon for Firefox which provides publishing facilities (as well as
search facilities to search for useful web pages in your peers' gnunet
directories).
Both these tasks appear to lie within the IceCat project.
