Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation dedicated to supporting the infrastructure of the universal connected self-organizing Internet--and the autonomy of its participants--by developing and maintaining core production quality software, protocols, and operations.
From their Wikipedia entry: [L2 ]
Software developed at ISC includes BIND, DHCP, INN, Network Time Protocol, OpenReg. The ISC is also known for a software license, the so-called ISC license, which is functionally similar to the MIT license; this license is also the license preferred for new code contributed to OpenBSD.
Hmmm... Wikipedia says 'MIT license' in that paragraph.
The ISC license is also described on the license wiki page.
LV In the old days, ISC also stood for Interative Systems Corp., one of the early commercial Unix vendors. They sold IS/3, based on ATT's System III, with some specialty hardware text terminals for interacting with the system.
