|It sounds like you are going to switch JBoss to the LGPL. I'm very
|happy for
|you to do that as that is something that not only myself, but MANY other
|people (I know Brian told you to use either the LGPL or MPL) have been
|telling you to do for a long time now based on your two conditions above.
|
|I'm glad you are finally listening.

jon, glad you like it but "taking credit" of the move is something
tasteless.
Many people have said many things, you included in the "philosophy nebulae",
information really low, noise and emotions high...
when all is said and all is done we do what is best for jBoss.
Just do me a favor and let's go back to code.
I was forwarded an email on your lists where rickard went to talk about JNDI
integration... cause the whole thing needs alot of work. I will not forward
the answer but it seems to me that when we say "jBoss" on apache we get 1000
mails not even answering the questions and raising holly wars on APL vs.
world.
We send our best goddam developer to your lists to straighten out the
situation
this guy is an alien, and the fat ladies shooo away branding their APL
crucifix
WHAT IS GOING ON THERE?
WHERE IS THE TECHNOLOGY?
WE ARE HERE TO WORK
WE ARE HERE TO HELP
You have SERIOUS problems with the basic integration speed and the work we
put in is the basis for more integration beyond Tomcat. So trust me when I
say "trust me... we better go back to code and straighten this stuff, right
now it still sucks"...
So again, keep "taking credit" and "menaces" to yourself in the future.
You have set a stage where we are going to work on code and everyone better
hold up.
