Re: The ASF Resigns From the JCP Executive Committee

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to guess our friends at Zend are going to do the Israeli 
version of an Irish Jig, and our other friends in Redmond are happy 
about this eventuality........

I do wonder how IBM is going to deal with this one......I'm guessing it 
will be some time before much changes,  but since I am finding the Zend 
Framework to be every bit as powerful (albeit nearly as difficult to get 
your arms around) as the Java frameworks there may be some migration 
happening.  Particularly as the article infers that there may be some 
licensing questions in the near future.

This will be fun....
