Table of Contents Non-Technical FAQs How is Railo Server licensed? Why are there 2 domains for Railo ( getrailo.com & getrailo.org )? What purpose does it serve other than to confuse us?

Please see the section on Railo Server licensing for all licensing information.

We're certainly not trying to confuse anyone, but there is an important distinction between the two domains. Railo Technologies follows the same model that JBoss offers. JBoss.com is the commercial side of JBoss; it offers products and support. JBoss.org is the community side of JBoss, and is where the open source lives.

• GetRailo.com (purple site) is where Railo Technologies offers: Paid Extensions (cluster scope, cfvideo and more!), Professional services, Support contracts with full SLA Training.
• GetRailo.org (orange site) is YOUR community where you can be involved and contribute to the open source Railo project! More information is being slowly released to the community including the location of SVN repositories and build scripts. All this information will come to fruition when Railo 3.1 reaches final non-beta build.

Sponsoring an extension is sort of like a loan. Sponsoring means that you pay the development and then you get paid back in full with each purchase of the paid extension. After the full amount has been reached, the money is considered paid in full. You will always remain the sponsor of this extension.
