Ok, I know Windows is proprietary. I also know that Free Software is not about software in a philosophical sense...But my doubt for the time being is connected with software.
Ok, I want to develop a dictionary software; and I want to make it free software too. But I'll be developing this in Visual Basic. (It is proprietary software). Is there something technically wrong in doing so? For the software to be free I know I must publish code and allow others to make modifications, and warn others about not destroying my identity, right?
Suppose, along with this application I supply the source code and all the above-said terms and conditions then is not my software "free software" yet? Is there any problem using proprietary softwares to create free software?
