Use

FCM is open source and freely available for general use under the the terms of the FCM licence.

It is used by over 50 active software systems at the Met Office to manage their development and release. This includes the Met Office Unified Model which has over 100 developers working on it. It also includes much smaller systems with only one or two developers. It is also used by external users of Met Office software systems.

FCM uses Subversion for code management, but defines a common process and naming convention to simplify the usage. It adds a layer on top of Subversion to provide a natural interface which is specifically tailored to the simplified process.

FCM features a powerful build system, mainly aimed at building modern Fortran software applications.
