--- Comment #5 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
On the third hand, the code being suitably licensed means that its function can
easily be reimplemented in some other language (a derived work), or some
interpreter/compiler can be written to parse the original language's syntax and
semantics into some other form that can be compiled.

Would a program written in an old dialect of some other language no extant
compiler still speaks (say, very old K&R C or cfront-epoch C++) lose its
opensourceness because of it?

Food for thought.
