It already has. I believe that webgain already imbeds JBoss.  It is an LPGL

The rest of these are good question. I personally don't care about their
answers. It is just my own time and money invested.  I am and always have

I personally like the benevolent dictator, and dislike other overly
politicized styles. To each their own.
