Magnolia adopts new GNU Public License v3

Magnolia adopts new GPLv3 license

Basel/New York, Nov 13, 2007

Magnolia International Ltd., creator of the open-source Enterprise Content Management System Magnolia, today announced the transition of its Magnolia Community Edition to GPLv3.

GPLv3 is the latest version of the world's most popular open-source license, which has been released in June this year by the Free Software Foundation.

Magnolia is the first JSR-170-based Content Management System released under the GNU Public License Version 3 (GPLv3), and one of the first mainstream applications to embrace the new license.

Releasing the Magnolia Community Edition under the OSI-approved GPLv3 provides the Magnolia community with a clear and modern license that grants the essential freedoms of open-source software to its users and protects their investment into the code base.

Magnolia provides its software in two editions:

  • the Magnolia Community Edition is licensed under the GPLv3 and available as a free download from www.magnolia.info
  • the Magnolia Enterprise Edition is a commercial product with additional Enterprise functionality and support. It is licensed under the Magnolia Network Agreement, which provides the guarantees and protection enterprises expect.
