Does anyone know why JBoss isn't being granted the scholarship? I read the Happiness is here today JCP 2.5 announcement (http://java.sun.com/features/2002/10/new_jcp.html) again and it says "qualified achedemic, non-profit and opensource members".
I am not sure about the announcement text, but I know that the agreement was for nonprofit or academic organizations, or for individuals working on behalf of a nonprofit. JBOSS is none of the above. <http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/announce/LetterofIntent.html>
While I realize that this isn't an Apache opensource project, it was my understanding that Apache had invested a great deal of effort in getting Sun to open up the JCP and enact these reforms. I would hate to thing and be very disappointed if they were not being applied fairly.
We did. Under the old rules, JBOSS would not be allowed to implement a compatible implementation as open source. Under the new rules, they only need to pass the TCK, and as a commercial organization it is up to them to pay for it.
