[DotGNU]EJB & dotGNU

[Nicolas Fogg]

Hi All,
    I understand that dotGNU may support Java bytecode and this interests me a 
great
deal, as I am an experienced Java programmer and would be very interested in 
developing
Open Source/GPL Java components for dotGNU. However I have not seen anyone 
mention
EJBs. Correct me here if I am wrong, but from what I understand about .NET it 
attempts
to create a distributed computing platform that in many ways could be 
implemented using
Java and EJBs.

    Is there a place for EJBs in the dotGNU backend? Why/Why not?
    Do you guys see a place for EJB implementations of certain services. eg: A
LoginAuthentication EJB that can be plugged into an existing J2EE application 
to add
support for dotGNU login services.
    If such components ever exist what would be the implications for commercial
software developers using dotGNU EJB components in a commercial closed source
application. Would it ever be legal to call a method in a GNU component from a 
method
in a closed source application, even if it happens over a network and the two
components are running on seperate machines?
    If the answer is no, does this mean that commercial closed source 
applications have
no place in the dotGNU world?

Thanks
Nic
