(2008-04-09) Deploying Google App Engine Elsewhere

Is Google App Engine SDK a practical Desktop Web Server?

• random brain-farts: potential integration with Google Gears? Will either of these run on a Mobile? A Nokia N810? A GPhone?

Could you also deploy it on your own server, if you had concerns about Google availability, or as a Risk Management plan?

Would the EULA allow that?

• Hold on, isn't Google's implementation of the open SDK proprietary? Yes, but the open SDK is, as it says, open. You should look at this as though the open SDK is the beginning of an emerging standard and GAE is simply Google's implementation of this.
