First glance at the title: alfresco Enterprise Edition goes 100% open source, very excited. In the impression, alfresco has two versions: enterprise and community. The former has more functions than the latter, for example, the cluster and so on (it seems that there is a comparison table, so I am too lazy to check it). Now it's all open-source, isn't it all usable? DetailsArticleI found that this is not the case. The title on the homepage is not fully written. The document title is actually:
Alfresco Enterprise Edition goes 100% open source; alfresco removes closed source risk for governments and major deployments
In the past, alfresco's Enterprise Edition was still charged, but if you pay the money, the source code will be open to you. This is done to attract potential users and relieve them of worries,
...
What alfresco has done is commit to making its enterprise version open source. Alfresco retains the two version model, but there is source code transparency with both versions.You are still required to pay a license failed to alfresco if you are a user of the Enterprise version, but with access to the source code, you're in a much better long-term position.This is still one step short of the JBoss model with a single version and a services-only revenue model, but it is 100% open source.

We hope that alfresco will become the next JBoss one day.
