Yes.  If you're asking whether it's open source, the answer is that it  is 
not.  However, I do want to make it as freely accessible to everyone as  
possible.  On the one hand, I want to sell licenses to companies.  But  on the other 
hand, I want anyone to be able to download it and use it.
 
Although the Language Builder itself isn't open source, I have thought of  
doing open source implementations of various languages.  I started a few  
languages like Common Lisp, Forth, Basic, etc... to show that it can be  done.  
These are just partial implementations.  Ideally others would  expand it, and 
other language implementations would be added to the fold as  well.
 
In any event, I'm open to suggestions about open source, licensing,  etc...  
I want to make money with this, but I don't want anyone to miss out  on the 
fun due to licensing issues.
