JBoss’s founder may not be coming back to RedHat
He’s not as popular as Linus Trovalds, but if you are Java Developer most probably this name is familiar to you.

He was instrumental in the innovations that jBoss produced in the J2EE world. Apparently, R&D spending in RedHead is slowing down and that doesn’t make him happy. I guess this is what happened when open source try to get into business. Oracle, who once used to be partnering with Redhat for their database platform eventually released their own OS. The source code ? Completely a rip off of Red Hat version, with a bit customization and adjustment, and voila - there we got Enterprise Linux. Well, in OpenSource world, this is not a violation of copyright because the basic principle is open and sharing the code. The problem came when they mess around with business which eventually hurt their own purposes.
ps : And btw, Oracle goes Linux again ? Don’t they learn anything from the past ???! *piece*
