THE DRUPAL 8 TIMELINE
Drupal : Something for everyone to love
WHAT IS OPEN SOURCE?
The defining principle of open source is that you can sell the services and products created with the software, but not the software itself. So zero licensing costs!
WHAT IS DRUPAL?
Drupal is open source software maintained and developed by a community of hundreds of thousands of users and developers. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or “GPL”), which means anyone is free to download it and share it with others.
WHAT MAKES DRUPAL GREAT?
Put simply, it’s the community: hundreds of thousands of people working on developing and maintaining the Drupal platform and contributed software - every second of every day. This makes for an incredibly powerful cutting-edge content management system (CMS). But it’s not just us that thinks that - there are over 1 million sites built with Drupal. And that number grows every day.
WHAT IS DRUPAL 8?
Drupal 8 is the latest release on the Drupal journey - one that will take your site to a whole new level. It will set a new standard for ease of use, and has new ways to tailor and deploy your content - which will look great on any device. We’ve built it with you in mind, which is why there’s something for everyone to love in Drupal 8.
