Joomla! Framework changes to LGPL

CMS, News, PHP, Web Design & Programming, Web Development Services

The board of Open Source Matters (OSM) has voted to approve the request submitted by the Joomla! Production Leadership Team (PLT) to change the license of the Joomla Framework from GPL v2+ to LGPL v2.1+.

Learn to Say “No”

Tips

Saying the word “no” is something you have to learn again if you hope to gain a good work-life balance. They make us feel like saying no is a personal failing, or even worse a personal insult.
