Well...
If someone implements the full specification, and a developer writes code that
only uses the features outlined in the specification, then an EJB implementation
wouldn't be proprietary.
But, with the recent growth in app server vendors, they compete (along with
other things) by adding additional features which go _beyond_ the specification.
A developer that takes advantage of such features in a specific app server
would, then, be writing a proprietary EJB implementation that couldn't be ported
as-is to another app server.
Anyway, sounds like a nomenclature issue more than a practical issue to me. :-)
