What is the difference between Alfresco Community Edition and Alfresco Enterprise Edition ?
Any differences in both features it provides ?
Can we down load Enterprise edition with longer trial license ?
The Enterprise Edition is the commercially supported Edition. In addition to support, you also get patches, updates, indemnity, and access to certified partners. From a functionality standpoint, the software is virtually the same. There are a few things only available to Enterprise such as support for commercial databases and application servers, the XAM connector, and JMX.
Both Enterprise and Community are tested by our QA team. When it is time to distribute an Enterprise release, a branch is created. That branch undergoes additional testing and is frequently patched with fixes. These fixes go into the Enterprise release for that branch and are later merged back into the main code line so that they will be available in a future Community release.
Both Enterprise and Community are 100% open source. Community is distributed under the LGPLv3 license.
If you start an Enterprise Trial and you need to extend beyond your 30 day license you should talk to the account rep you are working with. Extensions can be granted.
Actually, as of the 4.1 releases, HA & clustering is no longer supported at all in the community. Research the forums and you will see that enterprise is the only way to go for enterprise deployments.
They say
Alfresco Enterprise Edition includes Document Management, Web Content Management, Share and the Content Platform. Records Management, as well as Enterprise add-ons such as clustering and a connector for content addressable storage can be added as an additional subscription on top of the base subscription.

thats wrong! the addons such as clustering are included in the community release. the difference is, that the enterprise version is the stable version with support and extensive tests

"No High-Availability Cluster Testing"
In my opinion, the Community Edition is generally sufficient to serve about 50 concurrent users. This should be good enough for most usage scenarios. The Community Edition has all the core features that the Enterprise Edition has. The only difference is, you do not get official technical support for the Community Edition from the company. However, Alfresco has a strong users community base that provides assistance when needed.
You can try Alfresco Community Edition by subscribing to hosted services offered at http://www.alfresco-fusion.com
After signing up you will be offered fully functional Alfresco Server at a very affordable monthly cost.

I have been researching using a MongoDB DBaaS provider and I would like to use the latest version of MongoDB. V4.2 at the time of writing
Some providers I took a look at are:
ObjectRocket
ScaleGrid
mLab
MongoDB Atlas
I'm wondering why MongoDB DBaaS providers other then MongoDB itself (with their Atlas service) are not able to offer the latest version of MongoDB? Not even version 4.0 which was released in Aug 2018 can be found.
It's a shame because MongoDB Atlas is not available as deployment on DigitalOcean.
Can somebody explain, thanks!
This is a result of the SSPL license that MongoDB has used for the core server since 2018.
According to the text of the license, specifically section 13, any company that provides MongoDB database "as a service" (which is what you are asking about) is legally required to provide all of the other software involved in running and operating the service under SSPL.
This is an impossible requirement to comply with in most cases since some of the software that a company may be using to provide the service isn't developed by the company providing the service, and is either proprietary or made available under a license other than SSPL. Therefore the company providing the service wouldn't be able to provide that software they use under SSPL.
For example, it is my non-lawyer understanding that someone providing MongoDB-as-a-service using a completely GPL stack, and publishing all of the pieces, would be in violation of SSPL because the pieces would be provided under GPL and not SSPL.
A company could comply with SSPL by developing their own system management software and releasing all of it under SSPL. But there's a weak business case for doing something like this.
MongoDB itself, being the copyright holder of its software, is not bound by SSPL's requirements and does not provide the software it uses to provide MongoDB-as-a-service under SSPL (i.e. MongoDB Atlas is proprietary).
Not even version 4.0 which was released in Aug 2018 can be found.
MongoDB 4.0.3 is the last version licensed under AGPL. This version could be provided as a service without the provider being under SSPL obligations, but users would most likely demand the current 4.0 release (4.0.19 as of this writing) which is under SSPL, plus a provider offering 4.0.3 would be on their own as far as patching any security vulnerabilities found in MongoDB since 2018.
ScaleGrid offers MongoDB on DigitalOcean including 4.2 support. We have a licensing deal in place with MongoDB which allows us to offer MongoDB-as-a-service.

Since CallidusCloud Acquired OrientDB, does anyone knows about its future?
The announcement says...
"CallidusCloud will continue to enhance the technology, expand the
customer base, and support the OrientDB open source community."
It's good to see that community version will be supported. But will it be under Apache 2 License?
Yes, absolutely, OrientDB Community Edition remains Open Source with Apache 2 license (Open Source).
what is the difference between OrientDB community and enterprise version when it comes to distributed clustering feature?
will the free community edition offer distributed clustering support as well?
OrientDB community edition has clustering support https://orientdb.com/community-edition/
The Enterprise Edition supports Distributed Clustering Configuration, that is one of the many features like: Query Profiler,Metrics Recording, and Live Monitoring with configurable Alerts.
To more info: http://orientdb.com/why-orientdb/ (Point 6 speaks about Enterprise Edition)
To handle the Distributed Clustering Configuration you can take a look at this link that show you how to configure it: http://orientdb.com/enterprise/last/clustermgmt.html
Finally the differences between Community and Enterprise are that Enterprise supports many features than Community as: Auditing and Advanced Backups (v 2.2 only), Query Profiler and so on.

How would go about implementing version control for BusinessObjects (as in the BI solution)? Ideally we would like to have some sort of way of getting artifacts into our Subversion repository. (I don't know much about BusinessObjects to be honest).
