Bill,
Opinions on professionality aside, isn't forking a very expected activity in open source development? If someone can't take Open Source code and make a new (Open Source) product with it, then what is the difference between Open Source and (closed) Shared Source?[1]
As long as a given fork adheres to the LGPL, what differentiates a "good" fork from a "bad" one? Or are all forks bad? FWIW, I don't have an opinion about this particular dispute, but am rather trying to learn more about the LGPL, Open Source, and your/JBoss.org's views on them.
[1] Assuming, of course, that trademarks, etc. are not violated.
