Joomla! CMS faces a governance challenge

Added By Tony Byrne on 20-Jun-2007

A nicely-researched article on Linux.com investigates a growing dust-up in the Joomla! community regarding licensing and business models. Joomla! is an open source CMS package that forked from Mambo a couple of years ago. After encouraging 3rd-party development of commercial add-on modules, Joomla's leadership is reconsidering its approach in light of the core package's somewhat purer GPL license, ...
