Migrating Visual Basic Applications?

Posted by Cliff on from the from-dogs-to-penguins dept.

goose69 asks: "I was looking at the various options available to migrate Visual Basic applications on to GNU/Linux , as usual the choices were many from Free Solutions like wxWindows, Gambas, vb2py, to proprietary ones like Phoenix, and so on. Unfortunately, Mono was too much with its multiple licenses. I want to know if anyone out there has done a successful migrations from Visual Basic on Windows to any application framework on GNU/Linux."

    Bahahaa. Mono's multiple licenses are too much? Let's see. The compiler is GPL, the runtime is LGPL, and the libraries are MIT/X11.

    Let's hope this guy's boss doesn't know about this post and realize that he can't hold 3 simple concepts in his head at one time.
