Not to be a smart ass here, but the Mono porting effort of the .NET platform is going to be interesting, as now its being released under the less restrictive BSD-type license. Since all the C# classes have to be re-written, and the spec is more open than J2EE's, it makes a far more compelling business case then it would initally seem.
Quite Frankly, the lack of certification for JBoss is due to the GPL. This will not be a problem for the intital Unix versions of .NET (as well as the later windows revisions). Funny how things work out.
