I am an early adopter of JBoss (years ago), and since then I've been using JBoss on a number of projects. JBoss is not just another open source app server: JBoss has consistently introduced innovations that effectivelly put IBM and BEA years behind. JBoss may not be a leader in dollar numbers, but it's definitely top-of-mind among most developers. Probably Oracle is looking at the revenue that JBoss can drive to other products and services, rather than just the JBoss suite alone.
What is more important is how community takes it. Would they feel betrayed.
