Yes sorry, JBoss is LGPL. We do actually import JBoss classes in JBIService and JBIDeployer but all LGPL dependencies are marked as provided in the pom.xml. So when we ship binaries, they are free from LGPL code, and when a developer builds on their own machine, they are downloading the JBoss jars from maven central themselves so at least we aren't shipping any LGPL code.
Obviously we will want to run this through legal-discuss if we get that far, but I wanted to see if anyone was interested in the first place.
