To the best of my knowledge this did not exist when WBEL was born and 
apparently it still doesn't help the library that originally sponsored WBEL.  
Anyway, I'm glad to see that they are doing the right with qualified 
educational institutions.  This still doesn't help me do dev work at home.  
If I didn't have access to WBEL, I'd have two choices, develop on another 
platform, or steal.  Of course I'd just develop on another platform.  
Probable Suse since it's IBM and Novell backed and I could eventually deploy 
it in production.  Instead, I develop on WBEL at home and it ports strait to 
production RHEL with no fuss.  In this case RedHat is better off for the 
existence of WBEL since it is responsible for keeping the proverbial camel's 
nose out the tent.
