Commercial open-source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software provider - SugarCRM will license its upcoming release of Sugar Community Edition 5.0 under the new Version 3 of the General Public License (GPL) - a Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) license used in the market. Sugar Community Edition 5.0 - expected to release this September - aims to introduce innovative platform features, new CRM functionality, and community development tools. John Roberts, CEO and co-founder of SugarCRM Open Source Project said that GPL v3 will be adopted in the next release of Sugar Community Edition.
