As I read it, I was increasingly shocked at how blatantly one-sided it is and kept thinking there must be a "I benefit..." somewhere.
Its truly "Help us build our commercial software and we won't pay and you won't have any rights to use it." That's it. It appears that the best case scenario is that I would somehow like it, never need to look at the source, and would only ever need to run it on up to a 4 core machine.
If anyone is looking to work for free, we've got *plenty* of JIRA issues we could use help on with the Groovy Eclipse Plugin.

Subject: Re: [groovy-user] IBM Unveils Rails-like Web Framework Stack Built Using Groovy - Project Zero
Note that this is not an Open Source project. IBM is quite clear that this
is a commercial project and they intend to licence it commercially. No non
IBM people are allowed commit access to the core components. All the IP on
any contribution is owned by IBM (this seem to include suggestions and code
contributions).
To their credit they make this very clear in the FAQ.
If they want to own my IP I would not give them the time of day.
Also, looking at their Groovy examples, they are very much beginners at the
language. I'd love to help them understand the language better but then
they'd own the IP.
It looks a very one sided deal to me.
