NAV 5.3
=======

Changes in governance and code ownership
----------------------------------------

On January 1st 2022, Uninett, NSD and Unit (all entities owned by the Norwegian
government) were merged into the new governmental agency *Sikt - Norwegian
Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research*.

This does not change our commitment to develop and provide NAV as free and open
source software. We still have the same ownership and the same goals - we're
just doing everything under a new name.

In the coming year, references to Uninett, both in the NAV documentation, code
and related web sites will slowly change into Sikt, but for some time going
forward, there will be references to both names. For more information about
the new organization, we refer you to https://sikt.no/about-sikt

Contributing to NAV

sponsored by Uninett on behalf of the Norwegian higher education
community. In 2004, however, NTNU and Uninett started distributing
NAV under the *GNU General Public License*, making it a truly free
