Indeed. The other point is that the AL2 license permits this. It isn't
theft, it is people/organisations using the software in exactly the way it
was intended.
Yes... I was being flippant ;)
But from a marketing point of view, I think people should now that the
"ghost" (there I do it again;) of Tomcat is in just about every other EJB
container out there. In fact I think there should be a list of containers
that use forks of Tomcat on the TC site... its just good marketing.
People are seeing Tomcat in competition with EJB... I think they should know
its a core part of many EJB containers.
So they view TC correctly, not as direct competition, but as a subcomponent.
Or... people out there, if you making a web site... start with Tomcat, if
you later need EJB... pick a container.
Tomcat vs EJB is just wrong when people see it as a container war.
Its the same reason I went ballistic, when Netbeans 6 defaulted to GlassFish
for a WebApp, and didnt even install Tomcat (they have since fixed that).
If one is making a simple web site... its just wrong... I think.
Large companies sponsor or have sponsored Tomcat and use it in their
products... Stole is wrong ;)
But then I also think when a container is based on Tomcat, and doesnt expose
it as such... thats kinda a like theft;)
TC should list those as well ;)
