## Notes

OpenWGA is a Java content management platform developed by Innovation Gate GmbH in Germany. The source is on GitHub and is built with Gradle into a JavaEE web application archive or a Debian package, whose init script starts a bundled Tomcat as a service. Its content store modules cover MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and HSQLDB, so the platform keeps its content in a relational database.

The Community Edition is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later, with an exception that lets plugins under other licenses be distributed alongside it.

## Worth knowing

The repository has no LICENSE file at its root, so the GPL text is taken from the Debian packaging tree and the license statement from the homepage. The Debian build file states GPL 2.0 with the same plugin exception, so the statements differ. The Debian packaging also names an old Java release, and no current page states a minimum runtime.
