Since as Bill points out, Apple can't be bothered to maintain the
Objective-C version of EOF, and as Scott, Dierdre, myself and others
have pointed out, many people still want it.
Solution: put EOF under the APSL, and let Apple start working on a
successor to EOF. Some kind of global orthogonal persistence a'la
EROS would be nice.
In fact, I asked Ernie about that at the Stepwise BoF and he
explicitly said they would neither open source it or license it. I'd
be willing to have it in ANY format.
Incidentally, this would be a big help for major EOF/WebObjects
customers (like the Apple Store), who AREN'T going to migrate to
Java in our lifetimes.
True.
