Oh, absolutely! Given the zilliards Apple charges for WebObjects licences... 
oh, wait.

Actually I just don't get it -- for long long years I don't get it at all.

(i) first, they seriously cripple the world's best web application framework by 
cutting out the ObjC support, leaving it Java-only, and thus half-unusable.

(ii) then they stop bundling it.

(iii) then they stop supporting it at all.

All right, I can see after (i) they could hardly charge any money for 
licencing, whilst the support price would skyrocket; but why on earth not put 
it to open source at the same moment?!?

The same company who is known to put _lots_ of pretty interesting things to 
public (see Darwin).

Oh, sigh.

About the only (dumb and conspirational) theory I can think of is that were the 
sources open, hacking App Store would get the usual 'varsity freaks pastime :)
