Open source projects typically solve a problem not addressed by commercial vendors, even if the problem is just the price being charged for the commercial solution. Yet we already have a very popular, open-source J2EE container in JBoss.
Why must people's egos get in the way of common sense in our business as in so many? Like Microsoft, it appears that Apache.org just wants to control everything - and that's just such a lamentable motivation, whether held by Microsoft or Apache.org.
I realize this is just a troll, but there's an interesting issue here - what do you perceive the ASF controlling other than the license? The ASF isn't a commercial entity, it's not out selling anything or competing with any company, and simply provides legal and infrastructure support to open source projects. You can take the code and do with it what you wish...
