About eZ Components
===================

eZ Components is an evolution of the `eZ Publish 3`__ libraries.
The eZ Publish 3 libraries were analyzed for strengths and weaknesses
and a plan was created to re-engineer those libraries. During the planning
phase of this project, `eZ Systems`__ decided to release the libraries
as an Open Source project. Initially, the LGPL__ license was chosen, but
this was later changed to the `New BSD`__ license to allow for easier
interoperability with as many other Open Source projects as possible.

eZ Components is a high-quality library of independent
components, where the APIs of the different components are kept as 
consistent as possible.

eZ Components is backed by `eZ Systems`__, both as an Open Source
project and commercially. Commercial support of eZ Components is
therefore also available through eZ Systems. If you are interested
in commercial support, please contact us through our `contact form`__,
selecting the option "Information about eZ Components".
