The father of CodeIgniter is now free

The whole reason that CodeIgniter exists is ExpressionEngine. It was the framework that was taken from the original version the founder built for his clients. Eventually, ExpressionEngine was re-written on top of CodeIgniter. Then the burden of maintaining the framework and the CMS took its toll and CodeIgniter languished before finding a home with BCIT.

In an interesting move - ExpressionEngine is no longer a paid product. It's open source. Although, as far as I can tell, it's simply free. It doesn't exist in their GitHub account so no one can help with updates.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. In the meantime, though, there's a powerful CMS for anyone who needs it.
