satispress VS tinacms

https://github.com/cedaro/satispress - made for this exact problem

For premium or private plugins, you can use SatisPress. SatisPress turns a WordPress site into your own private Composer repository, where plugins/themes installed on the site can be exposed as composer packages, and, since it's a WordPress site, the plugins/themes can be updated just like any other plugin/theme on any other WordPress site would be. SatisPress requires(?) you to authenticate to be able to pull packages into your project - you can leverage Composer's auth.json to automate authentication.

Check:

- Tina CMS: https://tina.io/

- Primo CMS: https://primocms.org/

Anyway, you seem to be holding the wrong end of the stick. Static generation is the easy part, what you're looking for is a subset that falls under the CMS umbrella, just search for `CMS+SSG` you'll find a diverse set of solutions.

You can also setup any generic Headless CMS to trigger generation for a static site. Why would someone build a full fledged CMS and limit it to a niche market inside a niche?

Tina CMS, formerly Forestry, is one of the best open source Git-based CMSs in terms of the provided feature set. It covers the basics, such as:

Try tina cms https://tina.io

Currently testing it with Docusaurus for our documentation site.

The next step in building this demo blog application is to set up TinaCMS, an open source headless CMS that supports the Markdown format.

Solutions like CloudCanon or TinaCMS use this approach.

Check out this license for example: https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms/blob/main/LICENSE

It's an Apache 2.0 license, but with adendums.

Would it be reasonable to say that I could fork their repo for own purposes, and argue in court that I was only familar with Apache 2.0, and not their modified terms?
