Proprietary Languages?
Up to table of contents
My Software is developed in A.N.Other++ Language (e.g. VB, VC++, V#, ...). This is a Microsoft proprietary language and developed exclusively for windows. Can it be Open sourced? I have never heard of Open source Vb...
Not a problem. To be open source the source code needs to be available even if it is created in a proprietary language. A quick search for VB shows that there ARE loads of VB projects on sourceforge, THE [mainstream] Open Source forge. For example Clip2Speech looks good for OATS use.
As an OSS project you may
attract a developer who thinks it is worth porting to an open version of basic
or other language like Python. You then gain more users and developers.
