WebObjects Distribution License

*WebObjects Distribution License
$699 per copy*

WebObjects, the premier web application server used by hundreds of
corporations, is now available for redistribution by web application
developers just like you.

Upon signature by Apple, the agreement, together with payment for your
initial request of licenses, allows you to resell WebObjects license
keys, and redistribute the WebObjects deployment runtime and adaptors as
part of your web application. The WebObjects runtime includes a powerful
object-relational engine for extracting and managing data from virtually
any database, without writing a single line of SQL. Its HTML component
model makes it a breeze to assemble dynamic, fully customizable web
pages. There’s even support for rich Java clients and Web services.
