Geronimo had nothing to do with elba.

Also, nothing wrong with elba forking the code. That's open source at
work. What would be wrong would be Geronimo using elba, as elba must be
GPL'd.

Geronimo is a different product to JBoss. JBoss is 'free-software' with
all the viral/GNU trappings. Geronimo will be 'open-source-software',
with all the useful-in-commercial environments/BSD trappings.

Not doing a project because a proportion of the developer community do not
believe in it is not a good reason.

I do not believe in JSF/Struts' MVC Model 2 crap. So let's scrap those
projects.

Regular for what? I'm sure incubation rules are being followed with
Geronimo. The only criticism in how things have been done with Gerry is
that the announcement was perhaps too inviting and that Geronimo is not a
Jakarta project.

Coding Java is not dependent on Sun's commercial position, or are you
suggesting we should switch to C# because Sun look so weak?
