If Only Oprah Had a CMS Club

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, open source CMS solutions have gained traction with publishers and 
| have taken market share from the enterprise players. In fact, this post on 
| The Huffington Post points to Drupal, an open source CMS, as “the platform 
| for building scalable, community-driven Web sites.” It even recommends 
| another open source tool, WordPress, for blogging applications.

,----[ Quote ]
| When can a company that's still "close to being a startup" compete on a level 
| playing field against the giants in its field? During a recession, that's 
| when, says Ned Lilly, CEO of open source ERP provider xTuple. Cash-strapped

State of the Project Report: Joomla! Web CMS

,----[ Quote ]
| The original intent was to use the GNU Public License (GPL) for Joomla!
| However, there was an entire ecosystem of proprietary extensions around the
| open source CMS, with many people making their entire living from these
| extensions.
|
| In 2005, the core team had a member of the OSM board write up a rider,
| granting an exception for these extension developers to use any license they
| wanted.
|
| This rider was added in May 2006, but that wasn't the end of the issue. Over
| the next year, the core team began to worry that exceptions were not in fact
| legal within some interpretations of the GPL and may put the project in
| jeopardy. On June 14, 2007, the official announcement "Open Source Does
| Matter" appeared, re-committing Joomla! to full GPL compliance and promising
| that the road would not be littered with lawsuits or snap decisions.
