The scenario that I am trying to prevent is this: I author a piece of software which functions in Linux, MacOS, and Win32. I write it in Python, using wxPython for the GUI. This is entirely hypothetical - I picked that combination because I know that both packages are cross-platform. I don't care that someone morphs my program beyond all recognition. However, I would prefer that all versions be intrinsically capable of possessing the same feature-set. I guess I am asking whether I can require that all development tools be cross-platform. I am trying to avoid the situation wherein the Win32 version (or any other version) contains features (due to the use of proprietary development tools) that are precluded from existing in other versions. Or, if not precluded, for practical reasons are impossible to replicate. Okay, maybe that is the question that I should be asking: can I limit further development to only non-proprietary development tools? If the answer is no, I will gracefully retire my question and stop flogging this apparently dead horse.
