I should look at these licenses again. I wouldn't want to accidentally
transgress. ;)
I actually think that there's a legal limit to Copyright licensing, in
that I don't think they can technically hold me in violation for
developing on OpenBSD, if I have a license purchased for one developer
seat. They can completely refuse to support my configuration...
The other thing, though, is that on OpenBSD, I have a deployment license
installed. I don't believe that there's any way they can legitimately
prevent me from compiling java code against libraries, which is all I'm
doing. I'm certainly not running any of the tools on OpenBSD.
Lastly, what would WINE involve, since it's sort of "Windows" or win32
at any rate, but it's not. Where does the definition of platform come
in here.
I think the thing is so hazy and the terms of reference are too vague in
normal speech that unless Apple decided to clearly define these terms,
any reasonable court (in Canada anyway) would have a hard time finding
against me. Especially since you have to prove harm in some way to sue
someone.
As an aside, Wotonomy (http://wotonomy.sourceforge.net) is a (largely)
source compatible replacement for WO, which would probably be useable
(with some changes) from within WOLips. Having an EOModeler equivalent
and other similar apps would help there as well.

Has anyone here had a look at the Eclipse/GEF (graphical editor
framework) -- it might be a good starting point for an EOModeler
replacement.
But then Eclipse is not pure java (using SWT instead of Swing / AWT) ...
Another point is the rather harsh WebObjects licensing -- the license
does
allow WebObjects development only on platforms that are either MacOS X
or
Windows NT.
