PvPGN is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. It is written in the C programming language; its source code is hosted in a CVS repository. PvPGN is mature and highly scalable - a single server instance is capable of over 21,000 real-time connections.
Starting with PvPGN 1.99, a new branch was created and work is underway to incrementally convert the codebase to C++. The new branch is hosted in Apache Subversion rather than CVS.
