The only problem is, Tiger Server was boxed and shipped before this
announcement, and 5.3 will have a different deployment license from
previous releases... I think we just have to wait.

Ken,
This should be pretty easy to answer from someone who has the
physical OS X Tiger Server software box and manuals/documentation
which I don't have access to at the moment.
Looking at our Panther Server software box, there is a separate
independent WebObjects License document (which does not within
itself specify any WebObjects version).
Looking at section 2.2 "Authorized Deployment System", it clearly
indicates ANY computer that runs an operating system that supports
Java technology.
To answer the question completely, could someone on the list who
has a purchased copy of OS X Tiger Server verify that there is
indeed a standalone "WebObjects Software License Agreement" in the
box, and if so look at the definition of the Authorized Deployment
System to see if the definition is the same, in which case WO can
be deployed anywhere that Java is supported and as such is
"platform-independent" to the same extent as Java itself.
Regards, Kieran
PS. The license also states that if you disagree with it simply
return it to Apple for a refund. If you have an Apple store nearby,
I am sure they will have an open box of Tiger Server and would be
glad to show you the contents of the box and allow you to read the
2-page license.

Kieran,
Do you have confirmation somewhere that purchasing a copy of OS X
Server is needed / adequate to run WebObjects on other platforms?
When at WWDC, I was not able to confirm this.

Development for 5.3 is free and included in XCode
Deployment for 5.3 is INCLUDED in the OS X Tiger Server license
as a bundled feature of Tiger Server. If you are only interested
in the WebObjects license that is part of OS X Server, then you
buy the $499 OS X Tiger Server which is a price REDUCTION of $200
over the former standalone $699 WebObjects 5.2 license.

Does anyone know where I can ask about this? I'm trying to pitch
a project at my company to use WO and licensing is one of the
major issues. I've called ADC and the person we spoke to
couldn't give us an answer and redirected us to Apple Licensing
from which we've not had any replies...
