Hi!
That's not the case. You can develop on whatever platform you want
(no support from Apple for anything but OS X, as usual). You must
have an OS X license for each development machine, BUT you don't
need to use a Mac (you can keep your OS X boxes closed in a storage
room or so!). The idea is, WebObjects frameworks are part of OS X,
so you must pay OS X to develop WO. If you can do it on Linux or
Windows, it's up to you, but you still must pay Apple the frameworks
and the (ahem...) tools that are part of OS X.
Here we go again.
The license distributed with XCode 3.1 contradicts this assertion and
explicitly states:
"For avoidance of doubt, you may not distribute the WebObjects
Software on a stand-alone basis, and you may not develop application
programs using the WebObjects Software (or any portion thereof) on any
non-Apple branded computer."

Incidentally this is NOT what the wocommunity FAQ [1] interprets
the license agreement to be. It states you need a license of Mac
OSX per developer, which while not incorrect is not the full extent
of the requirement as stated above. It should be amended to state
that you can develop on any OS but it must be running on apple
hardware.

Is that means I can use WO (Eclipse and WOLips) legally in
Windows?
Both Eclipse (Eclipse Foundation: http://eclipse.org/) and WOLips
(ObjectStyle: http://objectstyle.org/woproject/index.html) are
open-source and freely available to anyone no matter what
platform they're on. This is no guarantee, of course, that
everything will work, or work the same, on every platform. The
primary platform for WOLips has to date been mac so naturally
less testing (and bug reports) have come from Windows users.
However I believe that Mike and others have set up (and
supported) Windows.
No license problem for development?
The license currently states...
D. WebObjects Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, you may incorporate the WebObjects
Software included in the Developer Software into application
programs (both client and server) that you develop on an
Apple-branded computer. You may also reproduce and distribute
the WebObjects Software unmodified, in binary form
only, on any platform but solely as incorporated into such
application programs and only for use by end-users under terms
that are at least as restrictive of those set forth in this
License (including, without limitation, Sections 2, 6 and 7 of this
License). For avoidance of doubt, you may not distribute the
WebObjects Software on a stand-alone basis, and you may
not developcomputer.
with regards,
