Please gentlemen,
let's stop this thread.
I am sorry I went with a gift, cool technology already working, to the
tomcat crowd and got massively burned by fanatism against "GPL". It was an
interesting experience to just be spit on, insulted, thrown stones at and
generally ridiculed by what seems to be a rabid group or JSP implementors,
doing it all for sake of "open-ness" ... so much blood for religion
((( imho
The real thing that bothers me is that a group in the open source arena is
actively promoting "fear" as means to an end, they are now talking of
"intimidating us into change and twisting arms ...", wow amazing a bully...
My recommendation to them is to implement more APIs before trying to
terrorize anyone, there is so much leverage they will have from "big
brother" apache...
So please hold fire for now, do not shot at them, they can't come in, the
hordes will eventually turn back
what was once Rome, has degenerated in the "middle ages", just hold on my
friends ..
thank you
marc

|

||cannot use GPL for jBoss as a whole. And we cannot GPL only the

||I don't see how this can work. I honestly don't.
