said by neochu:One also has to worry about compliance with GPL V2 though.
Its in Visual basic (not C) which means its not really that open in the first place. It would have to be ported for other platforms.
But that isn't my specialty so Ill let any open source experts comment.
What are you talking about? The GPLV2 only requires that SOURCE CODE be available on request, and that any modifications to said code must also be licensed as GPLV2. It doesn't matter what language it is written in.
In summary, the GPL v2, like nearly any licence, grants rights under certain provisos. These are briefly listed here. A licensee of GPL v2-licensed software can:
* copy and distribute the program's unmodified source code (Section 1)
* modify the program's source code and distribute the modified source (Section 2)
* distribute compiled versions of the program, both modified and unmodified (Section 3)
provided that:
* all distributed copies (modified or not) carry a copyright notice and exclusion of warranty (Section 1 and 2)
* all modified copies are distributed under the GPL v2 (Section 2)
* all compiled versions of the program are accompanied by the relevant source code, or a viable offer to make the relevant source code available (Section 3)
