Does anyone know why JBoss isn't being granted the scholarship? I read
the Happiness is here today JCP 2.5 announcement
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.
Indeed, but you and Roy have summed it up correctly.
Cheers,
Ben.
