Internet Software Consortium (ISC) was an organization that was founded by Rick Adams and Paul Vixie with funding from UUNET to develop and support a number of reference implementations of internet software. ISC's main office is in Redwood City, California.
In January 2004 the projects, assets and staff of Internet Software Consortium were transferred to a new company, Internet Systems Consortium. The new company is a US Federal 501c(3) public-benefit, non-profit corporation.
Software developed at ISC includes BIND, DHCP and INN.
The ISC hosts one of the 13 root nameservers (F) and an archive of usenet newgroup and rmgroup messages, as well as many other free software projects.
