The rules we helped shape make scholarship open for non profits and
academia.

Not for for-profits/commercial entities.

The 'new' rules however _DO_ now allow for commercial entities to release
their code as open source; which (as far as I understand) was out under
the original approach.

So all JBOSS needs to do is pass the TCK; just like any other commercial
vendor. Or alternatively do some sort of split where jboss itselfs becomes
a non profit entity fully decoupled from the commercial company.

Ben Laurie is our man on TCK related Scholarship issues.
