I think people are reading too much into this. Redhat has RHEL and Fedora, there is Jboss Community Edition, and JBoss Professional edition.
Nothing is nerfed, in fact the 'premium' offerings are usually behind the free versions in terms of features, but they do offer better management, upgrade options, etc.
- ShabbyDoo 16y agoJBoss has a long tradition of not leaving anything out of its free versions. To the contrary, as you noted, one usually does not get support for the more bleeding edge features under a support agreement (although one JBoss project group I know personally of has tended to provide that support in practice to paying customers). I think the fear is that the "good stuff" for the JVM will only be available in paid form. SpringSource now employs a pretty high percentage of the Tomcat committers and offers it's "TC server," a non-free version of Tomcat with a bunch of managability features on top. No one seems too upset about this. Perhaps because there are so many other servlet container choices out there?
