Software Heritage

A service dedicated to collect and preserve software in source code form, for historical purposes.

we collect and preserve software in source code form, because software embodies our technical and scientific knowledge and humanity cannot afford the risk of losing it.

software is a precious part of our cultural heritage. we curate and make accessible all the software we collect, because only by sharing it we can guarantee its preservation in the very long term

software is fragile and we are unfortunately starting to lose it. we preserve software, because it contains our technical and scientific knowledge. we preserve software because it is the means of accessing all of our knowledge.

for this to be sustainable, a vast collective effort is needed. we will release as free/open source software all the software we write for the needs of software heritage and openly describe our technical architecture and processes.

we will encourage the emergence of an open network of peers and mirrors that will share with us the responsibility of maintaining available several copies of all the software we collect.
