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.
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.
