It's an European
Union funded(about 8*10^6 € in 2008 money,
archival_copy) academic project that
has a P2P-sub-component. It is a USELESS PROJECT from freedom of speech
point of view, because the main technical problem that it tries to solve is to
make it convenient to use DRM("Digital Rights Management") for
old-fashioned copyright based extortion. The core idea of DRM is to
use selective censorship for extortion.
As of 2020_09 it is a de facto closed source
software. A
citation(archival_copy,
archive_org_copy): "source
code of the AXMEDIS Framework is accessible by the AXMEDIS Affiliation
programme. The affiliation fee is affordable for all. Alternatively affiliation
can also be offered in return for contributions to improve and/or extend the
AXMEDIS Framework;"
Basically, bunch of academics figured out, how to create their own
multi-million-euro closed source software project without paying for it
themselves.
