Tim, AFAIK, Neither the Apache Board nor the Jakarta PMC has engaged JBoss or taken a stand on the situation. Whereas folks top down in JBoss have consistently sang the same tune. I personally faced this situation at WS-Edge 2005 (http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=46047) when Marc brought this up in a public forum (and me and geir remained silent on the issue).
So, in your opinion, the Apache Board and Jakarta PMC should stay out of this *AS USUAL* (Please note that as individuals people can do what they want and the Board nor the PMC has any control).
