dotCMS is built from an open source code base that is actively developed and managed by both dotCMS and dotCMS users and partners around the world. All features of the dotCMS Community Edition are included in the open source code. Features which are exclusive to dotCMS Enterprise Edition are maintained in a separate private repository; access to some or all of the Enterprise source code may be granted to customers and partners upon special request.
