Greenstone is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which aims to empower users, particularly in universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the world, and particularly in developing countries. It is hoped that this software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to share information and place it in the public domain.
