In case of Autoconf, however, an exception has been made, 1.15 +because Autoconf is at such a pivotal position in the software development tool chain 1.16 +that the benefits from having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh the 1.17 +disadvantage that some authors may choose to use it, too, for proprietary software. 1.18 + 1.19 +This official web site of this project is located at 1.20 +https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/. 1.21 +All available information concerning this project is referenced from there.
