Brodie a Linux YouTuber uploaded a video about a project, I was not aware off: Software Heritage. It is basically for code, what Internet Archive is for websites. If you want watch Brodies video as an introduction: >https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=MUA9Fu4jNGY or >YouTube directly https://youtu.be/MUA9Fu4jNGY


We are building the universal software archive

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.
