'''Perspective''', created by Alan F Slater in the {{tag|United Kingdom}}, was originally a {{tag|Free software|free}} and {{tag|open source}} ({{tag|FOSS}}) wiki engine.  However, its final release, V3, was no longer open source, due to the addition of commercial third-party components which no longer complied with open source fundamentals, and therefore became incompatible with open source licensing.  V3 did retain one free single-use editor license, whilst multiple user editors required a fee-based {{tag|commercial}} license.
 
Perspective was intended for general usage by on corporate {{tag|intranet}}s, and included {{tag|WYSIWYG}} editing.  Supported Windows Integrated Authentication to provide strong authentication without the need to explicitly log-in.  Comprehensive search options including searching over {{tag|Microsoft|MS Office}} documents held as attachments in Perspective and within external folders.  Other file formats, such as PDFs, can be searched using third-party MS IFilters.
