JBoss community projects sit between your application code and the operating system to provide services such as persistence, transactions, messaging and clustering. Implementing this software in Java allows it to run on many different operating systems, giving you the flexibility to develop and deploy applications wherever you like. The aim is to regularly release stable versions together with documentation for use in cutting-edge application development.

Licenses

JBoss projects are developed in open source in order to benefit from the high level of innovation and extensive testing provided by online communities. We have chosen the business-friendly LGPL as our main license to ensure that you can safely use them to develop and deploy applications whilst keeping your source code private. You may even keep changes made to the JBoss project source code private as long as you do not distribute the resulting binaries.
