I just read an article on CNET here http://news.com.com/JBoss+denies+running+a+trademark+monopoly/2100-7344_3-5893015.html?tag=nefd.top that quotes Sacha Labourey as saying "When Fleury later started JBoss, Oberg was no longer involved." This isn't consistent with my memory. I first started with JBoss in 2000, and Rickard peronsally answered several of my questions. I thought he did the original work on the dynamic stubs, and the search button above still finds several references to Rickard's contributions.
What's the intent of this revisionist history? I not trying to start a war here, I think JBoss is great and was personally responsible for bringing it into my organization, where it continues to fulfill a critical role in our runtime platform. I just don't like to see the hard work of people discredited.
JBoss is grateful for the contribution that Mr. Oberg made to the JBoss AS codebase while employed by Marc Fleury's previous company - Telkel. However, work-for-hire does not confer 'co-founder' status.
Regards,
Sacha
