Well, it started out as Apache JServ, which came from Sun's original
reference implementation. At this point, I'm pretty sure there's neither
JServ code nor Sun code left in Tomcat.

Besides, if the application is written properly, you can always switch
vendors relatively easily, right? Tomcat is one of the easiest vendors
to switch away /from/ since there's not much in the way of crazy add-on
services. Just imagine trying to leave BEA or Oracle when they've got
their classes all up in your business. :(
