• GNU GPLv3 : 6

• MIT : 3

The new page GPLv3 PHP CMS without DB will be restrict to the most common license with the objective:

List

• i18n - internationalization/localization
  • RFC3066 : codes are selected as recommended in RFC 3066, but can use "_" instead of "-" and lower case for country codes
  • selfmade : there is localization, but it does not follow any RFC or ISO 639 standard
• PHP
  • minimum PHP version that is required
    • software that has a low min required version could have problems in new environments, since PHP is not fully backward compatible
      • in PHP 5.4 (2012-03-01) [1] backward compatibility was broken by several changes
  • SMO : safe mode off, since 5.4 it is removed, i.e. off for all [2]
