Hello,
IMO, we should not break JBoss dynamism. People should be convinced that
paying is good ;)
There should be no additional legal constraint either: it make people
affraid and run away! ;)
Look at Interbase: when people feel that the open source project is not so
open source, they take another direction (tree spliting in this case)
Once JBoss will have reached "the other side of the gap", everything will go
smoothly ;) "just" a simple matter of reaching it...
Cheers,
Sacha
