FYI,

Red Hat CCM 5.0 download page

The license is here. I don't have time right now to look it over... but is it just the Arsdigita License with a 'CCM' find-and-replace?

Hi John,

They changed it into a real OSS license.  I believe its a direct
copy of IBM's public license.  I think its close to LGPL except it
has a lot of clause to get the corporation out of liability.

If anybody is in the same boat as me wherein I have to develop in
CCM better start installing.  I have already downloaded it and I am
reinstalling my Oracle since I just upgraded to RH 7.3.

3: Is this Oracle-only? (response to 1)

Does this work only with Oracle, at least out of the box?  Or does it work with other RDBMS, perferably free/open ones?  If not now, how about in the future?

Currently its Oracle only.  Well we can use the work that was done here at OACS for the data model in Postgres.  Convert the PDL files to use Postgres.  Too much work to do.  Unless you are in the same boat as I am wherein I have to use CCM 5.0 try to look at OACS 4.5 which has both Postgres and Oracle.  If you really need java try Jahia, mmbase or cofax.  Jahia is semi opensource but it has a lot ACS stuff.

My initial findings with CCM 5.0 is that is a lot slower than 4.6 or 4.7.  Real slow as in http://localhost:8080 will take atleast a second to load.

Red Hat may port CCM to postgres since after all RH database is Postgres.
