WildFly is free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), version 2.1.

On November 20, 2014, JBoss Application Server was renamed WildFly. The JBoss Community and other Red Hat JBoss products like JBoss Enterprise Application Platform were not renamed.[3]

Origin

In 1999, Marc Fleury started a free software project named EJB-OSS (stands for Enterprise Java Bean Open Source Software) implementing the EJB API from J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition). Sun Microsystems asked the project to stop using the trademarked EJB within its name. EJB-OSS was then renamed to JBOSS, then JBoss later.[4]

Licensing and pricing

JBoss EAP itself is open source, but Red Hat charges to provide a support subscription for JBoss Enterprise Middleware. Before November 2010 JBoss was licensed as annual subscription in bundles of 4 and 32 CPU sockets. As of November 2010 the licensing changed and all cores on the system are now counted. The core bundles licensing is available for 16 and 64 cores.

gollark: I have my Discord data dump's messages data extracted, so now I just need to parse the useful data out, upload it to colab, and do things.
gollark: The analytics data in this dump is worryingly extensive, hmmm.
gollark: Which model are you using? There are apparently various sizes.
gollark: That WOULD be a troubling outcome for a gollarious neural network.
gollark: Just leave it running for 19471941284019 years.
