Presumably Jerry is asleep at the moment but from what I've read and
watched...
Rodeo is written in Rev and creates *online* HTML webapps, hosted on
On-Rev. Xcode is not involved in the end-user's workflow at all*. The
'originally written in' clause is irrelevant because all that ends up
being accessed by someone using a Rodeo-created webapp is HTML/CSS/JS.
Basically, using Rev's strengths in text/file manipulation to generate
all the relevant web files from a Rev-like syntax. What I'm not sure
of is whether the Rodeo service is set up to generate the web files on-
the-fly or to compile them when you finish editing an app. Presumably
the second option, or the server load would get a bit heavy.

* Jerry has spoken about a future possibility of advising authors on
PhoneGap-style wrapping of webapps for submission to Apple, but again
all the code is processed within Webkit and therefore bypasses the
restrictive parts of the SDK agreement.

to customize an Xcode project, and therefore create an app from this
data
for you, which you then aim to submit to the App store.
Questions:
- Is this right?
- Is this not simply using web services to do the same thing as
any other
framework that automatically generates Objective C for Xcode - and
therfore
"could" fall foul of the "originally written" clause on the new
license?
