It turns out that Apache Geronimo will arrive earlier than I expected because it will ship with a forked version of JBoss called Elba, forked by a group of former JBoss contributors who formed Core Developers Network, a JBoss support company.  JBoss is crying foul saying only JBoss has the right to offer JBoss code base under non-LGPL license.

The question is who owns the copyright in open source projects like JBoss?  Code Developers Network group members have apparently written major components of JBoss like CMP 2.0, so the picture is fuzzy at this point.  As I written before, open source world mirrors what goes on in the commercial world.  It's a dog-eat-dog world.
