Selecting an Open Source Content Management Solution
When it comes to Content Management Solutions (CMS), 'one size' does not fit all. When considering open source CMS for a real-world client experience, it's necessary to focus on the project needs, evaluate various CMS solutions in the context of these project needs, and to explore experiences with the strengths and weaknesses of the solutions.

A couple of corrections for you.

Alfresco is listed as being not free. This is not 100% correct. The Community version is totally free. The Enterprise version is an older more stable release but comes with paid for vendor support. The same is true of Liferay - you have the option of paying for vendor support.

It seems strange that Alfresco and Liferay have even been considered since both are based on JEE and you're scoring the ability to support PHP (natively I assume). Liferay does have CMS features but it's better known as a portal (it can integrate with other CMS solutions such as Alfresco). Perhaps other PHP based solutions should've been considered instead - e.g. ExpressionEngine or ModX?
