"Pretty good history of running open communities and projects"???

Thanks Bill, that was funny. There are few projects who have worse
reputation when it comes to dealing with users (Marc's and Gavin's
"approach" is infamous, not famous), spewing hyperbole left and right,
faking grassroot support, trying to enforce draconian contracts on
partners, and so on. Have you forgotten this already?

I'm ashamed of having been a cofounder of such a deeply pathological and
ponerized project. If I could do it all over again I would have stayed
away, and hopefully JBoss would never have existed.

C'est la vie.
