<h2><a name="about">What is CVSweb?</a></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. FreeBSD-CVSweb is currently maintained by &a.scop;.</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
