On a more community oriented note, I think jBoss is mature enough to benifit
from a foundation. It wouldn't be difficult to setup a 501.c.3 tax exempt
organization to accept donations, protect the contributions to jBoss (et.
al.), and to facilitate the development as jBoss as a platform. We could
possibly sell CD's of jBoss releases with maybe some nice documentation to
fund further jBoss development or to help out with the cost of hosting and
such. See the ASF (http://www.apache.org/foundation/) and FSF
(http://www.fsf.org/fsf/fsf.html) for ideas.
Let's go after the big dogs.

The three great virtues of programming are laziness, impatience, and hubris,
