    <h2>What is CVSweb?</h2>

    <p>CVSweb is a WWW interface for CVS repositories with which you
    can browse a file hierarchy on your browser to view each file's
    revision history in a very handy manner.</p>

    <p>CVSweb was originally written by &a.fenner; for the FreeBSD
    Project, and instantly won great popularity among software
    developers for its usability.</p>

    <p>FreeBSD-CVSweb, formerly known as knu-CVSweb, is an enhanced
    version of CVSweb based on Henner Zeller's CVSweb, which is an extended
    version of the original CVSweb.
    &a.knu; made numerous cleanups, bug-fixes, security enhancements and
    feature improvements over the version and brought it back where it was
    born.  Ville Skytt&auml; continued that work; the project is currently
    being maintained by Jonathan Noack.</p>

    <p>FreeBSD-CVSweb is freely available under the terms of
    <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html">The
    BSD License</a>.
    It is currently used by such projects as
