五一归来发现之——Alfresco开放企业版源码

乍一看标题：Alfresco Enterprise Edition Goes 100% Open Source，很是兴奋啊，印象中Alfresco有两个版本，enterprise和community版本，前者比后者多了一些功能，比如集群等等（好像有一个对照表，懒得去查了），现在都开源了那岂不是都可以用了么？细看文章发现还不是那么回事，首页上的标题没写全呢，文档的标题其实是：

Alfresco Enterprise Edition Goes 100% Open Source; Alfresco Removes Closed Source Risk for Governments and Major Corporations

原来Alfresco的Enterprise Edition 仍然是收费滴，不过如果你交了钱，那源码就对你开放了，这样做是为了吸引一些潜在用户，免除他们的后顾之忧，

...

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 fee 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.

期盼有一天Alfresco也会成为下一个JBOSS。
