Austin:

I don't think I can properly understand your syntax. I'll try to interpret
it as best I can.

You seem to imply that, just because there's an open implementation, the EJB
spec is open. That is simply not true. In fact, the JBoss team cannot
certify their product as "J2EE compliant", since it costs a lot of money.
Lutris cannot open-source their Enhydra server, because Sun won't let them.

It would seem that there are open implementations in spite of Sun.

As to the process by which the spec is defined, it is restricted to the
people invited by Sun:
http://jcp.org/procedures/overview/index.en.jsp
More specifically, you must sign a Non-disclosure agreement once you join.
It is therefore a very closed process.

As a last point, the implementation of EJBs seems very messy to me. You must
code several classes and config files just to have a "hello world" business
object, where an interface and a class would suffice.

For an open alternative to EJBs, see:

Un saludo,

Alex.
