General discussion

I know Drupal is licensed under the GPL2. And I've seen this old discussion: http://drupal.org/node/11953. And I've seen the LICENSE.txt file which is GPL2. But I haven't seen a copyright anywhere.

Is there a copyright holder on Drupal and its core modules? Who?

I ask because I'm including Drupal in software I'm building for contract, and I want to explain to the client exactly what they are getting.

Thanks!

I'm getting an access denied error while logged into my drupal installation. I'm logged in as my admin user and when I navigate to sections within the admin I have access denied errors. It shows that the Anonymous user is denied however I'm logged in as my admin user. It's not preventing me from accessing anything but I'm not logged in as anonymous! What could be going on?

Hi,

I host my Drupal on Textdrive.

I didn't do any special configuration. Just posting simple Forum in Thai language.

The problem is that some of the Thai character, not all, was incorrectly displayed after I posted it.

I tracked to database and found that the errored text is stored in the database.

I tried inputing the same thai character on Drupal Demo in cmsmatrix and it works fine there.

WordPress is an open source weblogging platform. It’s the platform I use to manage this blog and the platform - with some modifications - that Global Voices runs on. It has a reputation for being very user friendly, but for having some underlying architectural problems that make it hard to scale. Drupal is an open source multi-purpose content management system designed for the support of complex websites with multiple authors. It has a reputation for being ludicriously flexible, ungodly powerful and far too complex for mere mortals to use.

From Ethan Zukerman's blog.

As you (should) know, Drupal never stores your password itself, but rather creates an MD5 hash of the text. That means it is impossible for someone with database access to steal your password. When you enter your password to log in, the text is hashed again and the two hashes are compared. This is a nice feature for Drupal to have but it means that you can never recover your password. You can change it to a new one, but there is no way to find out what your current password is. Or is there?

I don't know whether it's just me - I posted the "Cost of a customized CMS" earlier. I checked just now and saw 2 replies. But when I clicked on the thread, it goes to a blank page. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks a million
John
