Considering that WO is freely redistributable as part of a WO
application,
Not a lawyer either (but somedays wishing I had done that instead of
computer science...) I though the license was pretty clear that this
redistribution was only allowed to run the application. Extracting WO
from the Application, or using it for anything else is contrary to the
terms of the license. I lack the will to read through it again. I
recall Pierre confirming this again recently.
all someone needs to do is make HelloWorld.woa and deploy it with an
installer package that includes all the WO frameworks. Monitor and
WOTaskd are provided as Developer examples in Leopard, so they could
be built as part of it also. At least then all of this stupid legal
funny-business would be over with. There could just be a link to
installer packages of HelloWorld.woa for each platform and we could
point people to it.

And they would then be clearly in violation of the license terms. I
think even the most relaxed lawyers would have fits over that. I
suspect that if Apple caught wind of this, that they WOULD take action.
My own, informed albeit ignorant and worthless legal opinion.
