[rabbitmq-discuss] What's difference between vFabric RabbitMQ and the open source RabbitMQ?

Not so.

Commercial support is available from Pivotal for both vFabric RabbitMQ 
and open source RabbitMQ. The terms do differ between them.

The main differences are:

- vFabric RabbitMQ has a commercial license [0] whereas open source 
RabbitMQ is licensed under the MPL1.1 [1]
- vFabric RabbitMQ support can be purchased under a perpetual license 
whereas open source RabbitMQ is annual subscription only [2]
- the support window for a particular release of vFabric RabbitMQ is 
substantially longer (3yrs) than open source RabbitMQ (1yr) [3]
- the vFabric RabbitMQ release comes with a JMS client that is not 
available as part of the open source distribution [4]
