Tomcat is offered as an IBM solution for web serving, bundled as Bob C.
pointed out with the 57xxDG1 product.  The only other open source product
IBM distributes this way (other than their own Java toolbox) is the powered
by Apache HTTP server.  Perl or Xerces are not part of a system product.  So
how is a bundled version of Tomcat any different from a bundled version of
Apache?  Or are you saying that IBM doesn't support the powerd by Apache
server?

This is a very weird gray area, but one for which I have several very
specific questions:

Is the Apache HTTP server a licensed IBM product, or part of one?

Is the Apache server supported by IBM?

Is the Tomcat web application server a licensed IBM product, or part of one?

Is Tomcat supported by IBM?

If the answers are different for Tomcat than Apache, why?

I'm going to fire off a similar question to John Quarantello over at IBM and
see if he can shed some light on this issue...
