JBoss Group, as caretaker of the JBoss project, has recently decided to remove CVS access committers for a few of our committers. We do not remove from CVS without good reason nor without just cause. These are the reasons for the removals:
1. These individuals have refused to discuss design issues on our public forums. It is crucial to have a public record of design discussions so that others may particpate in future work. 2. More importantly, we have learned that they have forked JBoss. We also believe they are preparing to submit it, or some derivation, to the new Apache Geronimo project which would violate copyright and LGPL. Our proof? http://sourceforge.net/projects/elba 3. There is just too much conflict of interest of developers working on two different J2EE projects that are being developed under two very different open-source licenses. JBoss Group believes strongly in the LGPL license and will protect all copyrights held by any JBoss contributor.
