IBM Announces Open-Source WebSphere

[test_new_sw]

Hello All,

Saw this information about IBM releasing an open source Weblogic:
http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/145755.htm

Wanted to see whats the JBoss strategy on this step from IBM?

I am big fan of open source and JBoss. Some of the remarkable things about JBoss AS are apart from its open source and free (my opinion):
1. Its architected/developed by developers for developers
2. Has lot of features (currently may be non-standard) but very helpful for users implementing J2EE solutions
3. Offers a superset of existing J2EE specs
4. Its robust and modular design

All the very best.

Nothing changes as its yet another app server somehow based on geronimo. We have our roadmap to execute on to move jboss forward and whether or not websphere (or weblogic) open source components only affects the available sources for implementation.
