Tim,
This is a *VERY* slippery slope. All of us are committers at Apache on a personal basis and our employment is no bearing on our committer status. Remember, they (or anyone for that matter) else can fork Tomcat (and call it by any name they want and do whatever they want) if they crave publicity. IF they want to do joint publicity, they can of course contact the prc and make as much press releases to their heart's content. This is not the right way to do it.

Henri, some of this is word mincing. The facts, as I see them, are that Jboss does employ individuals to work on Tomcat full-time. We shouldn't be discouraging this effort and, as long as we guarantee the product is called "Apache Tomcat", what harm is derived from noting that JBoss does contribute to the development of Tomcat?
