Just have to point out that Resin is not free for commercial use.
And if Orion is a take-over target, Resin is probably more so. Since Resin
isn't a full J2EE server but is used for JSP/Servlets it's more likely to fit
into someone's product portfolio (many EJB servers lack a decent web
container), rather than Orion that would be a competitor to any existing server
offering they have.
