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.
