CVS is the popular version control system in the free software community, used by *BSD, many Linux projects, Netscape and others

CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system. CVS is useful for everyone from individual developers to large, distributed teams:
-Its client-server access method lets developers access the latest code from anywhere there's an Internet connection.
-Its unreserved check-out model to version control avoids artificial conflicts common with the exclusive check-out model.
-Its client tools are available on most popular platforms. CVS is used by popular open-source projects like Mozilla, the GIMP, XEmacs, KDE, and GNOME.

CVS and other programs we might work on are free software.


Cyclic opposes government restrictions on encryption technology. Such restrictions make it hard to develop programs, such as CVS, which communicate over computer networks. CVS was used to develop the software in the DES Cracker project to investigate the strength of the DES encryption standard.
