This is a complete rewrite of Piranha CMS in order to achieve a more simple, flexible and future proof architecture. The framework is database & authentication agnostic with simple provider interfaces that makes sure that it can be adapted to different architectures.
Piranha CMS uses two different licenses. The core libraries are released under the LGPL license which is a weak copyleft license intended for software libraries.
"Weak copyleft" licenses are generally used for the creation of software libraries, to allow other software to link to the library, and then be redistributed without the legal requirement for the work to be distributed under the library's copyleft license. Only changes to the weak-copylefted software itself become subject to the copyleft provisions of such a license, not changes to the software that links to it.
You can read the full article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft#Strong_and_weak_copyleft.
Everything else is released under the MIT license granting you permission to do pretty much anything you want.
The reason for choosing this license is simple. I wrote this software intending that it should be free of charge and available for everyone. I did not write it so that the source code could be modified and used to create commercial proprietary products.
This repository is under development and is not intended for production use.
This version doesn't in any way have the same set of features as the currently released version of Piranha CMS. In order to get the community involved I wanted to release the source code as soon as possible to get as many contributors as possible.
You can find the roadmap under Milestones in this repository.
Open Source is based on contributions. If you want to get involved, just fork the repository and get started! If you want to contribute more, team members are more than welcome!
