Summary:
"The Software Heritage project aims to "collect, organise, preserve and make easily accessible the source code of all software that is publicly available." Calling itself the "Software Wikipedia," the "Internet Archive for source code," and even the "Library of Alexandria of software," it believes "a single and universal archive making software source code readily available will facilitate access to the knowledge contained therein, support programming education, and create a reference catalogue with all knowledge about this software." "
