Hi!
Some of you may have noticed that finally BEA has been bought by
Oracle. BEA was one of the big players in the field of middleware and
especially J2EE/SOA technology. With JBoss in this field there is also
a big and ever increasing open source application stack (backed by a
company).
Today I came across this blog entry:
http://blogs.jboss.com/blog/sconnolly/2008/01/18/A_BEA_utiful_Week.txt
which relates to this
http://theabstracttruth.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/jboss-and-possibly-tomcat-should-never-have-happened/
The author of the second also reacted to the first one:
http://theabstracttruth.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/its-not-about-open-source/
The blog entries deal with the competition between proprietary
software vendors with Free Software and thus are probably interesting
here.
Grüße
Stefan
