Of course you can because JBoss is licensed under the LGPL (http://www.fsf.org/licenses/lgpl.html).

Read the license, the essence is one single rule:

If you modify JBoss itself and redistribute it, then you also need to redistribute the source code of the modified version at no cost.

If you just use it unchanged or you do not distribute or sell your own changes to others then you are as free as possible.
