Hi!

I've seen people stating that WebObjects is now free. As far as I
can tell this is absolutely NOT THE CASE. You MUST buy OS X Server
to obtain a deployment key - which is required to deploy the
application whether as a traditional WOA file, or as a servlet
(WAR, Single Directory) capable of being run inside of a servlet
container like Tomcat.
As far as I can understand, you're wrong.
From the license text that appears when you open WebObjects
installer that comes with xCode 2.2:
D. WebObjects Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, you may use, install and permit others to access the
WebObjects deployment software included with the Developer Software
to deploy application programs developed using Apple’s WebObjects
Software. You may also reproduce and distribute: (1) over a
network, components of the WebObjects deployment software for
installation and use by others (“Java Client End Users”) on any
remote computer’s volatile memory (e.g. RAM) to enable Java Client
functionality for the sole purpose of communicating with Apple’s
WebObjects Software that may be installed and executed on the same
Apple-labeled computer on which you have installed the Developer
Software (the "Licensed System"); and (2) both manually and
automatically over a network, components of the WebObjects deployment
software for installation and use by Java Client End Users on any
remote computer’s non-volatile memory (e.g. ROM) to enable Java
Client functionality for the sole purpose of communicating with
Apple’s WebObjects Software that may be installed and executed on the
Licensed System; provided that all distributions to Java Client End
Users are made under terms that are at least as restrictive as those
set forth in this License and contain the disclaimers and limitations
set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this License. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this License, you may also deploy server
applications built with the WebObjects Software on any platform.
Joining the first and last sentences:
"Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use,
install and permit others to access the WebObjects deployment
software included with the Developer Software to deploy application
programs developed using Apple’s WebObjects Software. (...) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this License, you may also deploy
server applications built with the WebObjects Software on any platform."
So, you MAY use the development license (free) to deploy
applications developed with WebObjects on any platform you like. At
least it's what I can understand from this legal talk.
Yours
