                           We would like to use a CMS for our client facing website. 

We budgeted $$$ to purchase one. 

All of m y research and asking my community buds is pointing us to DotNetNuke: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/

I have no experience with a CMS. Our goal is to make the content in our client facing site configurable so we do not have to ask our developers to do it for us and then wait for the next release. Nothing fancy, just the ability to store and load content dynamically. 

Anyone here have experience with DotNetNuke? Open Source is great, though we are willing to pay for a "retail" product if we need to. 

I see it's a MIT style license that requires attribution in our  source code. I'm not a lawyer but it looks quite straightforward unlike the GPL licenses.

Regarding security - we are concerned about contributors leaving backdoors in the code since it is open source. I don't see this as being an issue so long as we keep up with the latest patches.

Should we be concerned with licensing and back doordoors in?
