Typo3 is Open Source

The advantage of open source

  • The source code of the application is free and publicly available. The license is the intellectual property and the usage of the software and source code are free to the user to view, use, edit, add and distribute.
  • An open source license ensures usage of the source code and any additions or changes of it to remain open and free.

To clarify when source code is referred to as open source the license has to apply to predetermined conditions set by the Open Source Initiative. The software that meets these conditions in its license can be defined and offered as open source. The freedom to change and edit Typo3 CMS has led to a widespread cooperation between developers to improve and extend the software. Property and license issues do not apply since Typo3 is open source. This form of cooperation where people from different organizations and countries collaborate on the software development (open source communities) is called an open source development methodology.

The world wide Typo3 CMS communities ensure a fast development of the CMS. Through this method the user is always certain of an up to date, fast, secure and stable Typo3 CMS without any extra charge. Netplanet offers the implementation of Typo3.
