Yes that is a bit confusing. The Just Basic Wiki states that it is open source

Updates of Freeform-J
« Thread started on: Aug 30th, 2010, 11:01am »
Updates of Freeform-J can be found at the Just BASIC Wiki.
Freeform-J is open source, so you are welcome to add any enhancements you see fit.
Feel free to post your customized version at the Just BASIC Wiki.
Please make sure to add your additions to the latest updated version available and not to the version shipping with JB.
This allows downloading the latest and greatest version in one file instead of having to merge them manually. |

I was not, however, suggesting that the code be copied. The code gives a framework that could be used as a basis for a GUI designer for BB4W. There is a lot of code (over 2000 lines) but analyzing it would show how it works and BBC Basic code can be produced to provide something similar. It will be quite an undertaking, but not beyond someone with the time and expertise. It should also be remembered that Just Basic is a beginners language, so it shouldn't have the complexities of Liberty Basic.
I appreciate your concerns about copyright, but it was not my intention that any copyright be breached, only that the code be considered to obtain ideas.

I appreciate that you were not necessarily suggesting that, but if it is genuinely Open Source why not? As I said, it would be a way of achieving a working BB4W GUI designer for little effort, and having something that actually works is preferable to any amount of good intentions!
