Actually, your comments in the interview came though like an unwarranted attack against Jakarta whereas now your concern seems to be focused on the business model which is a very legitimate concern. >The Apache Foundation model is incompatible with our professional vision.

Apache is rather big, Linux is even bigger. So characterizing Apache or Linux as one big flop is inaccurate. I don't think Apache is about financial success. We measure success by a different yardstick. I would even adventure to say that we don't really measure it. >We want to grow the JBoss Group as an umbrella for all JBoss developers to >offer professional services, it is already on.

The foundation takes great pride in not intervening in any project's internal affairs. That is how the foundation scales.
