        No one is arguing that we do not distribute jBoss using "a
distribution medium".  After all, I could read the code to you and the air
would probably be considered to be a distribution medium.  The argument is
that when the same source file imports both org.jboss.XXX and
org.apache.XXX, or when jBoss distributes Tomcat interceptors, then this
does not qualify as "mere aggregation", though it is certainly still
distributed via some medium.
