I did a before search and I was unable to find any independent sources that compare the licensing of open-source programming languages. There are some sources that discuss different open-source programming languages, but not their licensing. Therefore, this list does not pass WP:SAL. (t · c) buidhe 04:45, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I've been doing research in this ballpark for the open-source license and free license articles and have not come across any coverage of the topic. A quick search of websites and journals doesn't show anything. I think it may also be inherently misleading. Without an explanation of "implementation license", a reader could easily mistake these licenses for having some kind of impact on the generated software's license. Without sources, an explanation of "implementation license" would fall under WP:OR. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 06:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
