Umbraco is an open source content management system (CMS) for editing and managing dynamic websites , written in the high-level language C # and based on ASP.NET technology. Microsoft SQL Server is primarily used as the database, but from version 4 MySQL and VistaDB can also be used.
As free framework usable web application Umbraco was established in 2000 by the Danish software developer Niels Hartvig. Since then, the system has been further developed by the author, a core team and a very active community.

The CMS Umbraco is under a dual license model. On the one hand, Umbraco can be used free of charge under an open source license and also expanded, on the other hand, there is the possibility of purchasing a commercial license with additional rights and support services from the Danish company Umbraco A / S, based in Odense, Denmark.
The free license model is covered for large parts of Umbraco by the MIT license, while certain product and trademark-relevant parts are protected by the Umbraco open source license .
