The Jini technology is going Open Source and I think that is great, and even though I tried hard, it will not be under a ASL2.0 license, most likely the MIT license. Furthermore, it was explained to me that the patent right disclaimers in the ASL2.0 can be circumvented in nasty ways by a truly malicious company/individual if that is the intent, SO the GPL compatibility had higher value than the patent right issue. Now, hasn't their been licensing disputes from (L)GPL camps, IIRC JBoss?? Where they were accusing the ASF of breach of licensing. Can't ASF pay back with the same coins, referring to their own authority (FSF) about that the licensing is incompatible... So, Mr Fleury, please drop the following from your distribution (incl non-apache); * log4j * tomcat * jetty * beanshell * jasper * hsqldb * mx4j and on and on and on... In my opinion (and people here knows I'm the kind who confronts, that's no secret) throw that at JBoss + FSF and see the reaction. Nice Christmas present.
