That's correct: the z/OS Client Web Enablement Toolkit is a standard, included feature of the base z/OS operating system.
The z/OS Client Web Enablement Toolkit is available as far back as z/OS 2.1, although on that particular release a PTF installation is required to get it. Reference APARs OA46575 and OA46622. Probably a moot issue at this point since z/OS 2.1 reached End of Service on September 30, 2018, although Extended Service is still available as I write this (for a charge). Likewise, CICS Web Services is a standard, included feature in CICS Transaction Server -- and is also batch accessible. (Not to be confused with CICS Web Support, a different feature which is also standard.) Yet another option is to go grab Open Liberty and do whatever you want to do in that JEE runtime, such as JAX-RS. You would then presumably supply/support Open Liberty with your product as an optional runtime, or your customers could run your product in an IBM supplied/licensed/supported Liberty runtime, such as CICS Transaction Server for z/OS or WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. https://openliberty.io As still yet another option, you're certainly welcome/encouraged to contact IBM to inquire about licensing and packaging a z/OS Connect instance with your product. For a variety of reasons that'd be most lovely for everyone involved, including especially your prospective customers. You can make such inquiries through IBM PartnerWorld, and it's called an "Embedded Software Agreement (ESA)."
