Magnolia has been developed over the last few years by a small team of people working in sporadic bursts.  We are happy to offer the current version as free to download and use.  If the future needs of the user community include dedicated support, fast turnaround of bug fixes or feature improvements, training, etc, we’ll adjust our licensing model accordingly.   In any event, our aim is to provide a licensing model which is appropriate for the Magnolia user community, while still making Magnolia an active, ongoing and sustainable software tool.
