FreeWRL has been developed by Open Source contributors, and managed by John Stewart, [http://www.crc.ca/ CRC Canada]. It is believed to be the first sanctioned Open Source project
supported by the Federal Government of Canada, and gave CRC considerable in-depth knowledge on this and related technologies, in accordance with CRC's mandate. In April 2010 CRC cancelled its financial and official support of the project. 
Judging by the mailing list archives, the key CRC player Stewart appeared to continue to contribute regularly as an opensource volunteer and the project pace appears to remain healthy and active as of mid-2011, judging byThe participants and project continued to thrive and in mid-2011 the list of ongoing improvements on the main page, includinged smart phone and GPU initiatives.

FreeWRL follows the [http://www.web3d.org/ Web3D Consortium's] ISO standards, and is certified "Interchange Profile" Compliant by the Web3D Consortium.
It is in daily use worldwide. It is multi-threaded, written in C, and uses OpenGL for rendering. Source code is available [http://freewrl.sourceforge.net]. Development of FreeWRL has been continuous,
and is expected to continue, with focus on interactivity, usability, and rendering fidelity. As with most Open Source projects, help with code development and testing is
always welcome.
