Free Software Foundation

Free Software Foundation

The freedom—and the ability—to build on the work of others is core to free software. Also central is the ability to be nimble and future-proof, to not be hostage to the whims of specific owners or authors. The relatively short history of computers already holds a tragically large graveyard of software and formats buried too deep for anyone to learn from.

A comprehensive, permanent archive of free software like Software Heritage is exactly what we need to make all current works available as a foundation for the constructions of the future.
