This is ridiculous. If Apple has a problem with development on
Windows, it's their business to go after any possible infringers, not
ours. WOLips itself contains no code from WebObjects (I always
wondered why it uses cayenne instead of the built-in classes from WO,
but this seems to be a smart move after all).
I for my part have done more than enough work fixing their bugs. I
refuse to do any work for these legal games.
