No, it isn't developed like that. Apache isn't GNU software, and I
think that's one of the reasons it became the best. It would be great
to have a "perfect" CMS, free even, but not if it was GPL'd. Not until
the grocery stores start accepting good intentions in exchange for food.

Not to start a holy-war here, but I'd prefer almost any license over the
GPL... BSD, Apache, whatever.
