Project DReaM was a
Sun Microsystems project aimed at developing an open interoperable
DRM architecture that implements standardized interfaces. Its primary goal was the creation of a
royalty-free digital rights management industry
standard. On 22 August 2005, Sun announced that it was opening up Project DReaM, which had started as an internal research project, as part of their
Open Media Commons initiative. It was released under the
Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). Due to inactivity on the project, it was closed and archived in August 2008. DReaM is an
acronym that stands for "DRM everywhere/available".
