(or "GPL"), which means anyone is free to download it and share it

https://drupal.org/project/migrate_d2d
Migrate API suppose setup with code
Drupal-to-Drupal Data Migration simplify this specific use case
with Web UI
No custom code is required for general migration
Advanced Migration Logic
MigrateSourceRepresents the source data
The Migration class iterates over row objects generated by this
class
MigrateDestinationRepresents the destination object (user, node,
etc.)
Each row produced by MigrateSource is manipulated and passed on
to the destination class to create the object
MigrateMapRepresents the relationship between source and
destination objects, keeping track of precisely which source data
record resulted in the creation of which Drupal object.
MigrateFieldMappingRepresents a mapping between a source field
and a destination field
A typical Migration subclass will contain several field
mappings.
Improved Upgrade Process on Drupal 8
Support migration path from both Drupal 6/7
Major version upgrade handled by Migrate API
Minor version update handled by hook_update_N()
Note that migration support in Drupal 8 is currently only
partially implemented.
