That is unfortunate, WebObjects would be able to reach more developers if we (or Apple) were able to make a runtime installation tool for windows.


Just get the user to download the necessary file(s) from apple, and write a separate bundle that will extract the files and copy everything to the necessary places. That's almost as good as an installer and avoids redistribution related legal issues. This is what I do with the FreeBSD port of webobjects.

My understanding has always been that you can redistribute it as part of an application for the sole purpose of executing that application. But the license is written in such a way that anything is far from clear.

My opinion is that redistributing WO is likely to put you in contact with Apple's lawyers.

I have a windows WebObjects installation that functions and it is WebObjects 5.4.1. I do not know if I can zip my c:\apple directory and place it on a web server for distribution. I would expect that I cannot, that doing so would be a violation of the Apple Web Objects license. Do we have any Apple people on the list that can confirm this?
