+Xiph.org does not often create software directly for the end-user.
+Usually, we create specifications, reference implementations, libraries,
+and documentation for all of the above.  We try to make it easy for
+developers to include support for the xiph family of codecs.  Thus most of
+the popular software linked below was written by someone else, using our
+libraries.  However, if you are a developer or sophisticated end user, you
+are welcome to download source code either from the individual project
+pages above or from the links further down this page.
