Hello all!
I have a legal question as I'm gong to distribute my WO-application
wider than in my single organization. And most installations are going
to be on Linux.
And I'm not quite sure that Apple allows me to do that. We want one
Linux distribution holders to include my project into their
repository, but they are strict that everything in repository should
be legally clean.
The last bit of license regarding WO I have seen was in WO 5.4.3
Update installer. It stated that I can distribute WO libraries as a
part of product. Well, I guess that's just fine. But it was 1.5 year
ago...
... also it says that I can distribute it "only for use by end-users"
- does it mean I can't give it out for inclusion into repository?
Can anybody say what is Apple's current politics about WO?
>From my own research: WO is never mentioned on front pages of their
website (since it was removed from X Server). The only place where it
cal be found now is
http://developer.apple.com/tools/webobjects/index.html
Apple's current reference library does not contain ANY official
documentation for WO. However it still can be accessed by old direct
links that redirect to Obsolete section of library. And that
documentation is really obsolete in fact - telling about developing in
Xcode.
So it seems like Apple does not have ANY public policy about WO. And
that results into legal problems to us...
It seems to me that today Apple just uses those libraries as a base
for their stores and they have no reason to release any updates to it
for us. Their shops are so cool full of AJAX and other stuff... I
hardly believe they still use that primitive Component Actions Request
Handler unmodified to make it. Well... that's offtop though - nothing
about Legal )
