If Orion is a full J2EE implementation, they are probably right in not legally
releasing the source code as open source. I found this in the openEJB letter archive
at http://openejb.exolab.org/list-archive/msg00103.html, under www.openejb.org
Unfortunately, we still do not have a complete implementation of the J2EE platform to
release under an Open Source license. But this is not only an engineering issue, but
also a legal one: you need to understand that Intalio, Inc. still is not allowed by
Sun Microsystems, Inc. to make available such an implementation under an Open Source
license, according to the "licensing terms" of the J2EE specification and related
interfaces. There is not that much we can do about it outside lobbying.
