Upon further reading of the wiki page.

Due to copyright enforcement duration, it does us no good for us to declare WebObjects and its frameworks abandoned by Apple.  Since Apple has not and will probably not release it copyright ownership on the software.

Apple silently killed WebObjects and abandoned it's users roughly a decade ago (in a somewhat less-than-honest manner (Floop-de-diddity-doo You, Apple)).

But the community marches on. I’m constantly impressed by how this community survives and keeps what's essentially a dead product the best IDE/web-framework combination available. But at the same time, it’s kind of triste. We’ll never get new users. No one will use a dead framework. I hesitate to recommend it myself.

We really need a future destination. I’ve found a future for my data in Cayenne (I’ve converted most of my WO/EOF projects to use Cayenne instead of EOF and it’s awesome) but I haven’t found any web frameworks that can even begin to compare to WO. And I’ve looked hard.
