Viability with Open Source

I really love the fact that we are witnessing first hand the emergence of lightweight and accessible enterprise integration with Apache Service Mix and Camel

I can't think of a better environment than Apache. Apache practices a pure form of Open Source which invites lots of good committers that promotes creativity along with quality. With this support Apache has the resources to take on large enterprise projects.

Vendor sponsored Open Source falls short in attracting outside committers.

The ecosystem that enterprise projects require has become too big for any vendor.

So not only are we witnessing accessibility but long term viability.
