It's a PHP-based Content Management System/Framewor that became open source (GPLv2) in 2001.

Use cases

It's used by a wide variety of organisations for a large number of purposes, including;

whitehouse.gov, economist.com, grammy.com, pythonline.com, ubuntu.com, mtv.co.uk, warnerbrothersrecords.com, popsci.com, appdeveloper.intel.com, research.yahoo.com, corp.aol.com ...

Orientation

Drupal started out way back when as a forum system, but has evolved into a strong middle-of-the-road CMS/F. Its power lies in a well-balanced module ecosystem and breadth of development community. There are a variety of interworking levels of abstraction within the Drupal framework. A lot of modules have their own hooks that other modules can work with, building a network of possibilities.
