Footnotes

1. ↑  Page Access Control: Some wiki engines allow (optional) read/write access restriction to users or user groups on a per-page basis (e.g. through Access control lists).
2. ↑  Inline HTML Safe means that several features of HTML are restricted. This is better than Full, for security reasons. Users with complete access to HTML could, for example, create spoof forms to trick users.

4. ↑  Licenses here are a summary, and are not taken to be complete statements of the licenses. Some packages may use libraries under different licenses.
5. ↑  “Ease of installation” is expressed relative to other server software packages, and not to desktop applications. [83]
