Drupal is free and open-source software (FOSS), governed by the GNU General Public License (GPL) Ver2. Depending on who you talk to, you’ll hear Drupal called a Content Management System (CMS) or a Content Management Framework (CMF)—and both are accurate. It can be called a basic CMS because after installing only the base Drupal software, you can create a website with forums, static pages, and/or a blog, and manage the content online. On the other hand, it can be called a flexible CMF because most people choose to add additional modules to Drupal in order to bulid more complicated websites with more features, and Drupal also allows you to create fully custom modules.
