Software Heritage: Preserving Source Code for Cultural Heritage and Open Science
Software Heritage is a global initiative aiming to build a comprehensive library of all publicly available source code, akin to a 'Library of Alexandria.' It serves various needs like cultural heritage preservation, open science, academia, industry, and public administration. By collecting source code from various platforms beyond GitHub, like tiny forges and package managers, Software Heritage ensures the preservation and accessibility of mankind's software in a single repository.
