Can WITM be used to allow a large number of people to use Mathematica?
• Answer: No. There are several licensing and security issues that would prevent that. Even if your Mathematica license allow it, and you trust your users, there is still the possibility of graphs being shown incorrectly. Two users can both be creating a graph and each get the wrong version. I hope to address this issue, but WITM is not designed for allowing a large number of users. One way around this would be to run multiple copies of Apache under different UIDs on different ports. But this would soon use a lot of resources, so it would not be sensible for a large number of users. Question: Does WITM use Mathlink, which is the connectivity technology that allows a Mathematica front end to communicate with a kernel. • Answer: No – at least directly.
