to add to that.......
The online WebObjects 5.3 advertizing page says "Deploy on any J2EE Server"
http://www.apple.com/webobjects/
.... and in the WO 5.3 specs page under the last heading for Flexible Licensing, it says...
"Requires only one license per machine,
regardless of platform, speed, or number of processors"
Seems clear enough to me.... sometimes "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission", especially with behemoth organizations like Apple who have carefully worded their restrictions. If you were only allowed deploy on OS X Platform, then they would not say "regardless of platform", they would say "licensed only for deployment on OS X Server".
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if the WO license is in the Tiger Server box and what it says...

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...
