Version Date
  1. 1 2 Formerly Macromedia.
  2. ↑ Formerly GoLive Systems.
  3. ↑ Though the focus of this software is clearly XML, it covers so much of the HTML and XHTML features (all of them, basically) as well as generating HTML and XHTML based documents and sites (e.g. WebHelp, ePub, etc.) that leaving it out just appears a bit weird.
  4. ↑ Some components under Apache-2.0.
