Today at the midday Scotch keynote, Gert Franz and Luc Texier made an impressive announcement: Railo is going completely Open Source.
This is an exciting move both for Railo and for the CFML community as a whole, and I'll be writing more details about it later, but for now here some some quick key details...
There will be two editions of Railo, with the Community and Professional editions combining into one, and the Enterprise edition being the other:
The new Community+Professional edition will be Open Source and there will be no limit to the number of web contexts allowed.
The Enterprise edition will have added value features, including tools from Intergral.
The license will be LGPL2, which means you can distribute Railo along with commercial software.
The timeline for release of the source code is mid to late October, around the time that Railo 3.1 is due for release.
The announcement is online at the JBoss website at www.jboss.org/railo
