The [[= product_name_oss =]] code is available on GitHub under the GPLv2 license.
It comes with no commercial support and maintenance services.

[[= product_name_base =]] manages the release of [[= product_name =]] by using an agile iterative process and a continuous software development model, which is why we provide two kinds of [[= product_name =]] releases:
[[= product_name_base =]] manages the release of [[= product_name =]] by using an agile iterative process and a continuous software development model, which is why we provide Long Term Support releases (LTS) of [[= product_name =]] releases.

- Long Term Support releases (LTS) which are supported by [[= product_name_base =]] for a long period of time.
- Fast Track releases (FT) give access to the latest features and are supported for a short period of time. They're maintained only until the next FT release is introduced.
Long Term Support releases (LTS) are supported by [[= product_name_base =]] for a long period of time.
They're suitable for highly stable enterprise rollouts.

FT releases are tailored for those who want to stay up-to-date with newest functionalities, while LTS releases are suitable for highly stable enterprise rollouts.

LTS releases provide you with:

- **Reliability and stability**, as they go through extensive testing to ensure they are free from major bugs and issues.
- **Long-term security**, as a result of updates and security patches.
- **Predictability** that comes from following an established release plan.
- **Reduced maintenance**, because you avoid the frequent upgrade cycles.

With LTS Updates customers can maintain their competitiveness by incorporating cutting-edge technologies into their LTS releases without losing stability.
LTS Updates are intended to improve the current platform by providing new features.
What's important, you are not required to switch to a newer version of [[= product_name =]] to use LTS Updates.
You can install them whenever you choose, and you can be sure that the next LTS release will include them by default.

You won't have to manually install or configure them after upgrading, so you can make the switch smoothly when the time comes.
