Introduction

Drupal started out in 2001 as a forum content management system (CMS), but has evolved into a strong middle-of-the-road content management framework (CMF). Drupal Core and Drupal.org contribited modules are all GPL v2. Its framework benefits from a well-balanced module, development ecosystem. There are a variety of basic levels of abstraction, with fields, entities, bundles for content, and hooks pretty much all the way down that other modules and themes can work with, building a network of possibilities. Bunches of module state+configuration can be saved as a Feature, and make files and install profiles are used to build and provision new sites.
