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.

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.

Why do you think you couldn't pursue the same goals within Apache? What is
there to prevent you?

You can promote your way of life at Apache. The foundation takes great 
pride in
not intervening in any project's internal affairs. That is how the 
foundation scales.

Thanks for your time,
