Just to further clarify, Plone is a content management system (CMS)
built using the content management *framework* provided the Zope folks
and known as the Zope CMF.

Plone folks work hard to incorporate the latest improvements to the CMF
e.g. at the recent sprint in Victoria, there was some attention given to
incorporating the lastest CMF 1.4beta -- Plone 1.2 will use CMF 1.4 as
its basis.

If you pop the Welcome page on a Plone site, you'll likely find the
following comment embedded in the HTML:

      Please keep the Plone Powered button (or a textual link to us) if you 
use
      Plone on your site. It's a nice token of gratitude, and we appreciate 
your
      help in promoting the Plone name.

      Plone is powered by the combined forces of Zope and CMF, two absolutely
      great systems made by Zope Corporation (http://zope.com) and they in turn
      are based on the best programming language in the world - Python
      (http://www.python.org). We owe these guys a lot, thanks for making Plone
      possible!
