We have been told many times in public and private not to post dissenting views to the jboss lists - so we could hardly discuss our reasons for a fork there. Plus many of our posting were censored anyway.
We would love to not have done the elba fork - but while we were considering how to proceed with geronimo, we received several legal threats if we used the jboss trademark.
If there was an open license to use the jboss trademark, then there would be no need for an elba fork - simply so we can link jboss code into another project.
Eitherway, I wish to continue to contribute to the JBoss project -even if I have to use those contributions via the elba fork to avoid violating the jboss trademark.
