Oh, absolutely! Given the zilliards Apple charges for WebObjects licences... oh, wait.
Actually I just don't get it -- for long long years I don't get it at all.
(i) first, they seriously cripple the world's best web application framework by cutting out the ObjC support, leaving it Java-only, and thus half-unusable.
(ii) then they stop bundling it.
(iii) then they stop supporting it at all.
All right, I can see after (i) they could hardly charge any money for licencing, whilst the support price would skyrocket; but why on earth not put it to open source at the same moment?!?
The same company who is known to put _lots_ of pretty interesting things to public (see Darwin).
Oh, sigh.
About the only (dumb and conspirational) theory I can think of is that were the sources open, hacking App Store would get the usual 'varsity freaks pastime :)
