I Agree.
We cannot first give people permission to redistribute,
and then get angry about those who use that permission
and call them "free loaders".

Personally, I would be p*ssed off by such a statement.
All he wants is to write about JBoss (spreading the
word is IMHO fine) and redistribute it (we gave him
permission for that with the LGPL).
However, he did one minor piece of inappropriate
free loading: He used this list for advertizing
for his web site, without any concrete references
to anything JBoss-related.
IMO, it is OK to use this list for notifying
interested readers that something JBoss-related
can be found somewhere. But is is _not_ OK that
this list be used for advertizing web sites where
something JBoss-related may be found at some point
in the future.
