All you have to do is keep it simple.

Expect Siliware to go open source and free!!!
Siliware is using Tomcat and the J2EE RI. We expect the J2EE RI platform to provide us
with the J2EE Connection Architecture functionality we need for integrating Jini.
I don't see how companies can continue to assume their clients are ignorant. With the
internet, clients catch on pretty quick.
So even if you can't sell the J2EE RI without first licensing it from Sun, it still
has alot of value for prototyping and building products. As a vendor and system
integrator, I have found that all of the other containers are pretty much worthless.
The reality is that it's going to take a couple of years to role out real EJB
applications and alot of things are going to change by then.
Expect the market for EJB container providers to flood pretty quick.
Many small companies are already reverse-engineering Sun's open source J2EE RI and
will create better containers than most of the major players!
