In March 2004, Apache received a lawyer letter from JBoss, which was pointed out that some of his code is similar to JBoss product.
Violation of permissions. Apache has quickly responded to explain the fact that the fact is just the opposite. And officially announced the official statement of JBoss, and the conflict between the two companies in the shared code is again triggered ...
ASF (Apache Software Development Organization, the same) Two weeks ago, a official statement was published for this letter, claiming that the Geronimo project did not
Infringement of JBoss's intellectual property, Apache's developer is the original person of these code, in this statement, the origin of the log4j project CE
Ki Gulku said that Apache did not infringe the JBoss's intellectual property, but JBoss harmed the Apache's intellectual property rights. Log4J project is a project that JBoss believes to infringe the property rights.
"In summary, JBoss believes that the code we plagiarized (JBoss claims part of the infringement code), which is better than in their products.
I have to be earlier, "Gulku said," I don't understand that JBoss actually took this code to explain that apache infringed them, actually, is him
They ignored their code to apache, they did not comply with Apache license, and the things of infringement can only say it. "
However, JBoss's European Tube Sacha Labourey said they think Apache still has infringement on JBoss, while ASF is coming back on Friday.

More relaxed license range "," Our license is not to say, it is very important. "
The JBoss software follows the LGPL license, which prohibits non-open source code to expand it. In contrast, Apache has no limit.
System, although it requires anyone who uses code to declare the code as ASF.
ASF's supervisor Geir Magnusson refuted Labourey's statement, he said that the ASF's reply detailed why didn't have JBoss
The intellectual property constitutes a violation, and he emphasizes that ASF is very concerned about the issue of intellectual property rights.
