FAQ

Why do all of the Moby Project directories have II at the end?

This is the second version of the Moby Project. I have no idea where to find the first version or whether it is public domain or not.

What is the .untouched directory?

It contains the Moby Project files with their original filenames and their original documentation. See the README.md file in the directory for more information.
