Software Heritage is an ambitious nonprofit, entirely Free/Open-Source
Software (FOSS) initiative that aims at collecting, organizing,
preserving for the very long term, and sharing all publicly available
software in source code form, together with the corresponding complete

available. The Software Heritage archive already contains more than 11
billion unique source code files and 2.4 billion commits, retrieved from
more than 160 million software projects.
