Hi Bill,

There is no 'official' announcement of this. It is something the JBoss IDE team has been discussing after the acquisition of the Exadel Tools codebase. The plugins in this (proprietary) codebase are in the process of being open sourced and the chosen license is GPL to prohibit closed source players from taking and modifying the plugins without giving the changes back to the community. Especially the Hibernate team lately had bad experiences with MyEclipse regarding this. Because the former Exadel plugins are GPL licensed, it probably would make sense to follow the same scheme for the other JBoss plugins as well. 

Regards,
Koen
