Hi,
I read the posting about JBoss and copyright infringement. I noticed that
one of the exhibits was the Invocation class. In October of 1999 I created
and contributed the first version of that class (or one like it) to JBoss
(at that time EJBoss). Perhaps this will help address that specific
copyright infringement issue. If its helpful let me know.
I won't pretend to understand all the legal things being discussed. To be
honest it doesn't interest me very much. I think JBoss has every right to
protect their LGPL code - In fact I think its the right thing for them to
do. Having said that, however, I don't think every bit of code in JBoss is
realistically the property of that entity alone - there have been a lot of
people involved with the JBoss project over the years.

Richard, I just want to be clear... We have a signed Contributor License Agreement from you regarding contributions. As far as you are concerned, the Invocation code is part of that contribution/donation to Geronimo, right?
