JBoss, Inc. pioneered the disruptive Professional Open Source model, which combines the best of the open source and proprietary software worlds to make open source a safe choice for the enterprise. This includes the royalty-free software, transparent development, and active community inherent in open source, and the accountability and professional support services expected of a traditional software vendor. The company finds innovative open source projects and professionalizes the project from a hobby into a livelihood by hiring the lead developer(s), often the founders themselves. JBoss provides the resources, core development, and support services to enable popular open source projects to scale into enterprise-class software.
