SOA expert Thomas Erl, the founder of SOA Systems and editor of the Prentice Hall series of books on SOA, has made over the patent rights to the design for a unique, platform-agnostic service-modeling tool to Red Hat for its JBoss Enterprise SOA platform.

Red Hat is apparently going to have to build the thing. It's supposed to make it easier for developers to collaborate and conceptualize, define and manage services without getting into the implementation details.

Erl is anxious to evangelize SOA, which is why he gave the IP to Red Hat.
