Thereafter, free software and (later) open source become an increasingly important thread running through the columns—the word “Linux” appeared 663 times in total. The Long Viewer is “an open source Timeline tool”, while the Long Server is “the over-arching program for Long Now’s digital continuity software projects”. Similarly, any programs that are created for projects looking at very long-term preservation of digital material must be open source, so that they too can be examined in detail, modified and built upon.
