I don't see where on the Vert.x site that it mentions that it's "VMware's IP". I wonder if TM's will soon start popping up everywhere now that corporate lawyers are owning it. This is disconcerting to anyone who considers the personal project leadership when deciding what open source projects they're going to use in their stack. How do we know this won't happen to, say, Python now that GvR has left Google for Python? Google certainly seems to be more clueful than EMC/VMware, but how do we know?
