Carlos Perez is spreading the notion that JBoss is following the footsteps of Rickard. I think Marc Fleury cares about Rickard's ideas a lot but what you claim is a little too much.
First of all, portal server is the top complementary offering of many Application Servers. JBoss is no special here. Additional, JBoss is trying to be the holding project for many other projects like Javassist, JavaGroups, Jetty. Nukes is just of these projects.
Secondly, AOP is as everyone knows Xerox stuff. Many people ,especially in academic arena, wrote about it. So much work has been done. Rickard actually told them how he thinks the best AOP implementation would be but Marc Fleury and Bill Burke took a totally different route. Rickard suggested AOP framework based on dynamic proxy; JBoss implemented AOP framework based on byte code engineering.
I am not saying Rickard has no influence on JBoss. Marc Fleury clearly states what he think about Rickard but I don't think JBoss is following the footsteps of Rickard
