It is even a bit deeper than that, in some cases where the code is "core"
then we would want to Open Source at some point, it would be a requirement
only for *very* succesful components.
A bit like Windows really. Windows TCP/IP stacks were add-ons a couple of
years ago and then the browser etc etc the idea is that you have an
expanding sphere of knowledge and code that joins the free base (just like
an ever expanding set of features always joins the Operating Systems, the
web Operating System will be no exception). With this we just find a way
to finance the add-on development and grow the base of JBoss, it also enable
some of us to remain fully dedicated to the free core (I will not work on
add-ons I will work on the core JBoss and make sure JBoss remains a strong
brand like it is today).
We are a BEA killer, we will kill BEA.
Pass it on gentlemen, pass it on.
