Aaron,

EGL is NOT a "bolt-together" language and really has nothing to do with

the Open Source mash-up mentality. You're the one who tied those concepts
together.

EGL utilizes the following technologies to come up with an end result:
- HTML (governed by W3C)
- CSS (governed by W3C)
- Javascript (Netscape/Mozilla?)
- JSP spec/implementation (Sun)
- JSF spec (Sun). IBM provides their own implementation here.
- JDBC spec (Sun)
- EGL WYSIWYG (Eclipse)
- XML (governed by W3C)

How is that not a mash-up of open source? I would say EGL is a product of a
group of IBM engineers using OSS to their benefit. Sure they have a lot of
proprietary code built in there, but the basis mostly resides in the OSS
realm. This is a fundamental difference between the software stack for EGL
vs. green screen. Not necessarily a bad difference as they each have their
strengths and weaknesses.
