Thanks Lukas I am confused a little ;) When we say: a software is open source, it means its source code is changeable, But about a programming language such as Ruby, what does it mean? Is its interpreter code changeable? Is its syntax code changeable? Is its libraries changeable? or ... A question which is similar to my questions is asked in this forum: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1546583/what-is-the-definition-of-an-open-source-programming-language but I couldn't find a clear and helpful answer:((((
