<h2>
About BRL-CAD
</h2>
<p>
BRL-CAD is a cross platform open source solid modeling system that includes interactive geometry editing, high-performance
ray-tracing for rendering and geometric analysis, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, and geometry libraries
for application developers. Everything is distributed in source code and binary form. Although BRL-CAD can be used for
a wide range of engineering and graphics applications, its main purpose continues to be the support of ballistic and
electromagnetic analyses. BRL-CAD is basically a collection of libraries, tools, and utilities that work together to
create, raytrace, and integrate geometry and manipulate files and data. BRL-CAD is a large system with various portions
under different license but is predominantly distributed as a collective work under the v2.1 LGPL. Most of our data files
and documentation are provided under a modified BSD license or are in the public domain.

<h2>
What does BRL-CAD stand for?
</h2>
<p>
The BRL in BRL-CAD stands for Ballistic Research Laboratory, which is where the project originates. Though BRL was absorbed
into the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in 1992, BRL-CAD has retained its original distinctive name and trademark heritage.
</p>
<br>
<h2>
Our History
</h2>
<p>
BRL-CAD was created in 1979 when the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory expressed a need for tools that could assist
with the computer simulation and engineering analysis of combat vehicle systems and environments. When no CAD package was
found to be adequate for this purpose, BRL software developers - led by Mike Muuss - began assembling a suite fo utilities
capable of interactively displaying, editing, and interrogating geometric models. This suite became known as what you see
today - BRL-CAD. Development in BRL-CAD as a package began in 1983, and its first public release was made in 1984. BRL-CAD
became an open-source project in December 2004.
<br>
The BRL-CAD source code repository is the oldest known public version-controlled codebase in the world still under active
developement. It dates back to 1983, resulting in more than 30 years of active development.
