This is a week old but I wanted to link to it anyways because it’s a very interesting  analysis.

So JBoss triggered a phenomenon that they can’t seem to profit from. What to do? Well, one strategy might be to rely on the greater fool theory: get someone to buy you before anyone’s the wiser that there isn’t a business here. So far, BEA, Novell, HP, IBM and Oracle seem unwilling to play that role. Doing this professional open source stuff is harder than it initially looks!
