gstein writes "The ASF has announced the launch of the "Geronimo" project. Geronimo will be an Apache-licensed implementation of the Java J2EE specification; further, the ASF is committed to getting it certified as J2EE-compliant. The project is looking for developers interested in helping to carry this ambitious effort forward. See the original invitation that was sent out to many J2EE communities."

Re:What about JBoss? by sircrown · 2003-08-05 09:16 · Score: 5, Informative

For one thing, JBoss is under the LGPL and if I'm not mistaken Apache projects only use code released under the Apache Software License (ASL) or other suitably compatible license such as MPL or BSD.

Secondly, a lot of people seem to have objections over how the JBoss Group (allegedly) runs its business. Enough so as to stop them from using the product.
