EarthScope released SAC Community Edition v103.0 under the Apache 2.0 license, moving the Seismic Analysis Code off a restrictive license that had prevented distribution to users in certain countries. The new version can be copied, modified, redistributed, and used in commercial products, while the earlier v102.0 stays under its prior terms, and the release is a distinct fork from LLNL’s SAC2000. EarthScope said it maintains neither the source, the binaries, nor the documentation, and that longtime maintainers Brian Savage and Arthur Snoke have retired, leaving the project seeking volunteers with Savage offering to transfer his knowledge of the system.
