I remember these prices:
Developer: $3000
Deployment: $100.000 (Per System, unlimited CPUs)
Dep-Backup: $50.000
So there never was an unlimited deployment.
And that where the best times for WO; you could sell it to the Big
Players.
After the price-drop no one took WO seriously anymore. It almost
killed the high-end market.
atze
ps. We started using WO with version 0.9...

As I recall (and I didn't start with WebObjects until 1997, so it
could have been different in 1995 ;-), it was $50K for an unlimited
deployment license. I believe the per developer costs were much,
much less, but I can't remember specifics.

The price at that time was nearly USD40k per developer license!
Wait a minute...

Did it start out supporting Java, then switch to Objective-C, and
then back to Java??? If so, I had missed that part.
No, I assume that was a misunderstanding by the original journalist,
like the comment about writing web browser plug-ins.
WebObjects was originally written for Objective C; WebScript was
added later, and Java was added even later still.

PS Shame I can't be at WWDC; in other news, the root canal treatment
is going well.
