Story: JBoss downplays open-source code 'plagiarism'

Geronimo is tainted. It is obvious that the Apache Software Foundation is unable to perform proper audit of the source code they accept, and especially where they allow ex-developers from the original JBoss project to commit code changes. This scenario is just ripe for copyright infringements, and ASF is lacking the required procedure and rigor to ensure no license violations occur.

Anyone using Geronimo in production will expose themselves legally.

The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.
