At the end of the day, I would not worry to much.

The only significant part of the license is attached below, and any common-sense judge will interpret in the same way we do.

WO Works, thats what matters.

I started at NeXT as late-comer in 1995/6 and had to watch the entire enterprise thing go in the hole and am damn glad to see Apple pulling it out again. We use WO for our dumb little LLCs up here with a single license on a single platform with a single CPU just to make sure we can never be f'd over.

At the end of the day, if you work for a big corp that needs SLAs and such, Apple will never provide that (at least not now) on their WebObjects platform. Use WO, you're on your own. The best I can tell, there has barely even been any regression testing on new releases until the past 12 months or so, before that the entire corporate attitude was 'throw them to the wolves', which I don't mind either.

We have one WO 5.x license for MacOSX Server and one 4.x->5.x license on a CPU basis.

At the end of the day, just realize this (to the best of my knowledge) is not a well supported product and more than likely Apple will refuse anything more than a 'shrinkwrap agreement' to avoid being sued.

In summary, do thou wilt.
