| For some context: October CMS, a popular PHP Content Management
| System (CMS), has switched from open source to a proprietary paid
| model [1]. Winter CMS is a fork of the October CMS codebase to
| continue development of the CMS as a open source project.
|
| The new pricing model for October CMS is cheap, but no longer
| open source:
|
| - $9 per project
|
| - $150 for unlimited projects
|
| For comparison, Craft CMS, a popular commercial CMS also written
| in PHP, charge $299 for a licence for a single project.

| This characterization of Craft is incorrect. Single-user "solo"

| $299 pro charge for CraftCMS.
|
| It's more agency projects that have that cost; additionally,
| Craft receives fees from paid plugins that have their own
| separate support infrastructure.
|
| I personally use Craft for my website and chose it over
| OctoberCMS, though I had given October a close look when I made
| the transition two and a half years ago.
