WRONG. JSP is proprietary because Sun still controls the specification (I
clearly stated that in my original comments above).
The Servlet API is also proprietary still as well.
What IS free is the source code to these systems. But, just because that is
free, it doesn't mean that they are not proprietary.
Just because I have the source, doesn't mean that I can check in a new
method into the Servlet API.
