Which to me means that the closest together the two can ever be is if
Tomcat talks to JBoss and vice versa via a network socket. Then the two
licenses can co-exist. Any code written to accept a Java interface after
that network socket speaks would negate the legality, so you are stuck
with something like http as your protocol. So why not just resort to
sharp sticks and rocks while we're at it?

But then as someone just mentioned, it matters not a stitch what you or I
or Jon says, it matter what they lawyers say.
