If HTML were protected, you'd either need a license for just about everything you did, or you wouldn't be able to communicate at all.
Think of it this way: what if the English language were protected? You'd either need to get permission from the people who control the words "pass," "the," and "salt," or you'd have to spout your own original words--which would be meaningless to everyone around you--and point like a crazy person.
