You can get to the DMG directly, and read it from any client if dd is
available to extract the pax (akin to tar)
So Apple provides a documentation on how to do this? Right on the
download page?
1. put the jars/frameworks in a package, that you can extract on any
plattform (zip/gzip/rar).
available -- read above.
Not officially as far as I see it, so it’s not.
2. clear up the license to make WO either a free download or charge
a fee
per dev-seat.
Its free to DL
If you point someone to
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/webobjectsdeveloper.html
you’ll see
License: Update and Post Date: March 16, 2004
It does not count if it contains the full version. It is an update and
nothing else.
You can a newer version download it if you find the right URL.
From Lachlans post:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.kbase&fac=Downloads&q=WebObjects
But again the only licenses are updates.
and use,
So I can tell the world to go there and download and install on their
Win/Linux machines?
No you can not because the license tells you that you need Mac OS X to
be allowed to develop with it.
but I agree that I'd love for it to be fully
DLable from the web, front and center, directly in a .tgz, pkg, or
otherwise. Also I agree that Apple hedges too much in the license.
There is too much of a wink-wink each year at WWDC, simply passing the
buck to the customer to decide with their lawyer wether they are in
the clear.
Yes, that is the problem.
The simple answer is own one copy of OSX/Mac was sufficient
to be legal.
But the Win/Linux people don’t want to buy a Mac or a License Mac OS
X. They want to buy a License of WO or to have it for free.
Apple could just add WO as a thing in the Apple-store to buy. Make it
$99 if they want to get money for it, but make it a clean license.
"wink-wink" does not work in corporate-country.
A goodie would be to add Apache-adaptors compilable on Win/Linux.
These have been available for quite some time in project wonder (for
Apache 1.x/2.0/2.2 on all makes)
Project Wonder is not a part of WO.
(Please don’t start flaming about this)
atze
ps. Does Apple hope to rise Mac- or OS X-sales with this? I don’t
understand the strategy any other way.
