Don't know. I'v enever seen the Contribute CMS side of things. I've only dabbled in templates because I was updating an NGOs site for a while when they lost their Web guy.
I wasn't aware of a per site fee or any server-side licensing.

I've skipped through the docs but I only caught that Server Side Contribute requires J2EE, but I only noticed the client side license fees. I'd better look again.
