That angered me too, so I went to the bookstore a bought the book.  A
lot of their antics annoy me, but there are also other offenders out
there.  I guess it is part of a competitive landscape.  I do wish they
would separate the JBoss Group from JBoss the Open Source Project more
clearly.  Right now they share the website and it is hard to tell where
the line is drawn.

There is some basic documentation avaliable for free - enough to get
someone started.  I don't have a problem paying a little for additional
documentation.
