anyone else find this wierd...
I hate to keep posting negative stuff about jboss inc (I love the server and I'm very happy that friends of mine make money working on open source). But I find this disturbing or weird or something.
I just don't like the idea of an open souce project 'acquiring' another project. What it looks like to me is that JBoss Inc bought Rosseta from a partner company and is donating it to the ESB team.
From looking at this post it does not appear that the decision to use Rosseta was a 'community' or 'open' decision but was instead decided by the Inc people and pushed into the 'community'. Not what I'd call open, even if the source is avalible.
I have no problem with company X spending money in any way they like. The only thing I find disturbing is that the community is not really involved in such decisions but is instead informed after the fact. This is an example of what I find 'not open' in the JBoss Inc & JBoss the project model.
This is the kind of 'not open' behavior I was ranting about here.
