Re: Multilanguage portal with Jahia Community Edition

Hi Dimitris,

This would be a bit too easy, isn'it?

The Jahia codebase is divided in two parts with two distinct licenses:
- the community part which is released under a 
100% open-source MPL-like license. This 
corresponds roughly to 80% of the codebase.
- Commercial extensions released under a more 
restricted but still with full source code 
license: the sustainable license 
(www.sustainablesoftware.info for more information).
So even if you have the source code of such 
extensions as part of the overall Jahia 
distributions and even if you are free to take a 
look into them, modify them or even redistribute 
them, you are only entitltes to use them for 
research and development purposes. As soon as you 
want to use them for production, you need to pay 
some royalties (that you can pay in cash... or in 
kind by contributing to the software).

This what we call our "sustainable business 
model". We offer for free 80% of the codebase but 
we still need to make our livings. So active 
contributors get free credit licenses and other 
need to pay a form of cash contribution to the 
project. Like for any associations where you have 
some yearly subscription fees... I think this is 
quite fair given the amount of work and 
investments all current stakeholders provided to this project.

Cheers,
Stéphane
