Frequently Asked Questions

Is LAMS free? When will it be freely available?

Yes. The LAMS software was released as "open source software" (using the GPL) in late February 2005. From this time onwards, anyone who wishes to take the publicly available software source code, and then compile it, install it, configure it and maintain it can use LAMS without incurring any fees. For many users, it may be more cost effective to have LAMS International (the LAMS services and support company) provide support services to handle all of this for a modest fee, but this decision is up to each potential user — there is no compulsion to pay anything for using LAMS if you abide by the requirements of the GPL (the LAMS open source software license).
