"Millennium Technology Prize"
Web Inventor Finally Earns a Profit
Tue Jun 15, 3:08 PM ET
HELSINKI, Finland - Tim Berners-Lee, who received a $1.2 million cash prize Tuesday for creating the World Wide Web, says he would never have succeeded if he had charged money for his inventions.
"If I had tried to demand fees ... there would be no World Wide Web," Berners-Lee, 49, said at a ceremony for winning the first Millennium Technology Prize. "There would be lots of small webs."

I say we take the $1.2mil, give it to Gates, and give Gates' bank account to Berners-Lee. THAT, he deserves. $1.2mil doesn't begin to touch what he contributed to the world.
