Red Hat to Acquire JBoss

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday April 10, 2006 @02:39AM from the i'm-sure-that's-important-to-someone dept.

tecker writes "Redhat.com has a banner and press release that states that it will be Red Hat that will buy JBoss and not Oracle as previously thought. The press release states "the world's leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire JBoss, the global leader in open source middleware. By acquiring JBoss, Red Hat expects to accelerate the shift to service-oriented architectures (SOA), by enabling the next generation of web-enabled applications running on a low-cost, open source platform." Could it be that a one company server package that will rival Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 and ASP will finally emerge?"

Re:What does this mean for Mono? by philipmather · 2006-04-10 02:53 · Score: 0, Redundant

Nothing until netcraft confirm it.

Sorry, TBH I don't think Mono ever developed enough momentum just like Novell really. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Mono or Novell aren't good or competitive or whatever but there's fashionably late and then there's Mono.

...Red Hat that will buy JBoss and not Oracle as previously thought.

I'm SOOO relieved Red Hat will not be buying Oracle at this time!
I can't imagine RedHat shipping a non-GPL database at this time.
