Howard acknowledges that there is an IP concern regarding HiveMind, although
he hopes to have it corrected soon. The Geronimo developers represent that
the code contributed for Geronimo does not contain any code belonging to
JBoss. Should any be found, it will be removed. Your comment about code
appearing on SourceForge suggests that you are confusing Geronimo with Elba.
> I hope HiveMind shows up on sf.net in the mean time
At worst, if there were JBoss code in Geronimo it would be licensed under
LGPL. HiveMind, however, is not LGPL. Until its IP problems are resolved,
the code is proprietary to WebCT. For Howard to publish HiveMind anywhere
before the IP issues are resolved could be considered misappropriation of
corporate assets.
