Support Open Internet Reference

Evidence over assertion. Knowledge over opinion.

Open Internet Reference (OIR) is an evidence-based knowledge base documenting the legal, constitutional, historical, technical, and public policy landscape around internet architecture, distributed systems, cryptography, open source software, privacy, and digital rights.

Our mission: help technologists, researchers, attorneys, and civil society organizations find the organizations, lawyers, and legal precedent they need to defend software freedom and fight censorship.
