system. All of the source code is publicly available under Free

This filesystem is distributed over multiple peers in such a way the
filesystem continues to operate correctly even when some of the peers
are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious. Users can easily share
files with each other, using a simple and flexible access control
scheme.

This is the fifth release in the version 1 series. We believe that
this version of Tahoe is stable enough to use as a permanent store of
valuable data. The version 1 series of Tahoe will be actively
supported and maintained for the forseeable future, and future versions
of Tahoe will retain the ability to read files and directories produced
by Tahoe v1 for the forseeable future.

WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
With Tahoe, you can distribute your filesystem across a set of
computers, such that if some of the computers fail or turn out to be
malicious, the entire filesystem continues to be available, thanks to
the remaining computers. You can also share your files with other
users, using a simple and flexible access control scheme.
