Jopr platform for building management applications and RHQ Project

I just stumbled upon Jopr recently and realized it is the opensource version of the JBoss Operations Network - Platform. That could mean any one trying to build a management platform (monitoring applications / servers) say for JBoss itself or other applications could use Jopr to start with. Definition of Jopr from their website : Jopr (pronounced "jopper") is the open source enterprise management solution for the JBoss Middleware projects. This management project delivers an open source and unsupported form of the JBoss Operations Network product. It provides enterprise administration and monitoring with fine-grained security and an extensible platform base upon which extensions and new administration support can be built. This system is based on and plugin-compatible with the multi-vendor RHQ management project Interesting multi vendor project - RHQ, though collaboratively developed by RedHat and Hyperic. Looks like opensouce community feeds in to RHQ while RedHat and Hyperic sells it commercially in another name. Or did i miss something ?
