Re: SWIG + Mathematica?

I'm no expert in either SWIG or Mathematica, but as far as I
know, SWIG does not have a backend for Mathematica, and even if
it did, it wouldn't do what I think you want. If you wrote a
bunch of C or C++ code, for example, that you wanted to call
from a Mathematica notebook, SWIG could help (if it supported
Mathematica). Along those lines, there is
https://github.com/szhorvat/LTemplate.

It sounds like you want a transpiler that converts Mathematica
source code into some other language. Such a project would need
to first understand and parse Mathematica's language (the same
way Mathematica does). Then it could convert what it parsed into
equivalent-looking constructs in a target language (like Python
or C). Then any of the Mathematica functions that don't already
exist in the target language would need to be reimplemented.
Something like https://github.com/rljacobson/FoxySheep, perhaps.

Whether that solves or even has any impact on your intellectual
property claims problem is a question that needs a lawyer to
answer. I'm not just dodging the issue by saying that; I've seen
several lawsuits over this very scenario in other languages, and
there seems to be no clear pattern to which side wins or comes
out on top in a settlement.

I am looking for some way to free myself up from software patent / copyright claims from the people at Mathematica. I am wanting to produce software packages that belong to me free of any ambiguities about ownership of intellectual property.
