how can they sell it if it was built on the backs of volunteers?
will not the volunteers be compensated - or just marc fleury and the gang?
oracle clearly seeks to kill the mysql/jboss combination which has threatened it lately as it has been moving into the enterprise market. this makes sense to me, but it is alarming that it is possible considering that the basic tenants of open source are free software for all, open code to anyone, anyone can contribute to its improvement. now jboss code contributors (including jaxara developers) are doing nothing more than adding value to the Oracle bottom line?
could powerful open source tools be at risk of forever vanishing if they are nothing more now than potential objects of acquisiton by giant enterprise?
