15 years is a stretch even for TC4. In 1999, Sun donated the code to
the ASF which was merged with the existing Apache JServ product. The
name "Apache Tomcat" didn't exist until the donation of code from Sun.

15 years ago (1997), it was called Apache JServ and it was very
immature. It took until 1999 for it to be released as 1.0. I remember
helping evaluate Apache JServ versus Sun's Servlet Server (can't
remember what it was called at the time -- definitely not "Tomcat")
and coming to the conclusion that JServ was unstable and non-compliant
(and a pain to set up, because it required a web server in front!).
