What is Liferay Portal Community Edition and what will happen to Liferay Portal?
Apart from continued product enhancements—nothing! We are simply referring to the free community version as “Liferay Portal Community Edition” (CE) in order to clearly differentiate between it and the new services-oriented Liferay Portal EE. Those who don’t need or want to commit to a services contract still have access to the latest features at absolutely no cost and no business risk. We will still continue to develop and innovate as we always have and provide maintenance releases for the most recent version of CE until the next release. While new “Enterprise” versions of other open source products have meant losses for their community, the team here has worked hard to meet the needs of the enterprise market without sacrificing the needs of the community that make us what we are today.
