Welcome to Contao - UK
TYPOlight becomes Contao
Since the name TYPOlight has repeatedly led to misunderstandings and false assumptions regarding the system's potential and range of functions, the TYPOlight project has changed its name to Contao Open Source CMS. Everything else remains the same.
Contao actually has a meaning and is not a pure fantasy name. The Vietnamese word "tạo" means "to form", "to create", "to shape". The term "con tạo" means "fate", "the creator". The "con" in Contao may also be interpreted as an abbreviation for "Content", so the name is ideal for a system that creates content.

Commercial license
The LGPL is a great license for most users. It gives a lot of flexibility with what you can and cannot do with the code. Nevertheless, it does not work for all cases. The commercial license for Contao helps to get around the stickier points of the LGPL and make the system work for your individual project. More details >>
