To that end, all Geronimo Committers should take a momentary pause from active development and help address the claims. We should :
1) review all three claims
2) review the Geronimo code specified as infringing in the claims
3) provide a technical response for each of the claims - either that the claim is not valid, and reasons why, or that the claim is valid
In the event that any of the JBoss claims are true, then we must resolve the problem. I'd suggest :
0) Immediately remove the offending code from CVS 1) Notifying this list of the finding
This activity must be the consensus of the Geronimo committers, and the response to JBoss should consist of technical information produced by the Geronimo committers. It's our project and our responsibility.
The ASF will be assisting in the formal response to the JBoss Group, so please - lets collect information here, and then present that to the ASF. In the event that an individual is contacted by any member of the JBoss Group regarding this issue, remember to be courteous, polite and refer them to one of the following :
1) This list : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) The Incuabtor PMC : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3) The Apache board : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As for the mechanicals, I'll follow up with a separate email with the three claims, and from that we can address each one.
