I have bad news for you most jboss.inc software uses the lgpl (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html) which forces companies to release changes to any software in which they distribute. So here you are still agreeing with me and speaking well of a company that uses a license written by FSF.

Unless you're finally willing to speak out against GPL

As I have often said I have no problem with IP owners using whatever license they choose to use be it the GPL, BSD, or completely closed. You on the other hand usually act as a zealot.

Its nice to see on this thread you appreciate how open source works with capitalism as stated when you pointed out that a private company built around the OSS model was sold for a good chunk of change to a company who also uses the OSS model. Making more money for stock holders and providing a nice offering for businesses. I also appreciate you pointing out that many in the OSS community who might be as zealous as you (albeit in a different direction) don't control the OSS landscape..

Including when they use the licenses of that radical leftist Stallman. Why can't you speak up against him? Your moral compass is broke? Or you don't have a problem with obvious leftists defining the standards of future technology? Both?
