## Notes

Liferay DXP is a digital experience platform written in Java, maintained by Liferay Inc. Its source is the liferay-portal repository, and building that repository with Apache Ant produces a bundle that contains a Tomcat application server with Liferay DXP deployed, so the platform runs as a long-running server process.

## Worth knowing

The code is dual-licensed. Each source file can be used under the LGPL-2.1-or-later or under a proprietary EULA that applies to Liferay's subscription customers. The README places multifactor authentication, SAML, advanced analytics and production-scale clustering in the Enterprise Subscription, while the Free Tier is described as a bundle with an activation key.
