It even has the support of Lawrence Lessig who wrote:
"In a world where DRM has become ubiquitous, we need to ensure that the ecology for creativity is bolstered, not stifled, by technology.

Project DReaM
Project DReaM is an initiative to develop an open Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution for multiple domains (media, documents, enterprise, personal, etc.). This open source project develops an end-to-end Reference Implementation for the DReaM Specifications in order to enable a quick-start for DRM solutions.
