The CVSNT Versioning System implements a version control system: it keeps track of all changes in a set of files, typically the implementation of a software project, and allows several (potentially geographically separated) developers to collaborate. It is compatible with and originally based on Concurrent Versions System (CVS), which has become popular in the open-source world.
On June 30, 2010,[1] March Hare retired the zero-dollar Community edition, however the commercial "CVS Suite" edition with a new CVSNT 2.8 release and support is actively developed[2] and available from the web store,[3] as are snapshots of the older community releases (unsupported, and a fee is required to download).[4] Email support is available for customers but the community mailing list/newsgroup has been removed, The description of the public CVS server for source code was updated with the caveat "not guaranteed to be available 24x7,[5] is provided by a volunteer and may be withdrawn at any time".[6] This arrangement appears to fulfil the requirements of the GPL, since the software offered for download includes a written offer to receive the source code,[7] as is explicitly required by the license.[8]
Older versions can still be downloaded for free from various repositories [1], [2], or [3], including source code.
