Hi,
afaik with WO 5.3.1 deployment on any platform is allowed, no need to
buy any license anymore. At least this is what i understand from the
license agreement.
If this is true then apple did a great step forward.
Now according to the license development is -not- allowed on non Mac
OS X systems. Even if its possible using WOLips and Eclipse, no
matter if on Windows or Linux or whatever.
I would like to make a suggestion:
WOLips should check the WebObjects version and platform. If the
version is 5.3.1 and platform is <> Mac OS X then it should refuse to
work. This would be just a consequence of the new license agreement.
One could make a special license for the license check code in WOLips
which says that changing this check, removing it or using WOLips on
non Mac OS X systems would break the license.
IMHO its not OK to write software (which uses Apple Software, aka
WebObjects) which enables people to do something with WebObjects
which is not covered by the license.
I just suggest this because i am quite happy about this new license
model: no deployment costs is really great, so its OK to buy a mac
for development.
regards, David
