Dormant Programming Languages

These are languages that are not being actively worked on, as far as I can tell. Like the main language page, they are divided into ones that run on Windows all by themselves, and ones that need some UNIX emulation environment.
Key:
Open source means that at least one implementation listed provides full source code.
Licenses: U = unknown, PD = public domain, GPL = Gnu Public License, AL = Artistic License, APL = Apple Public License,
BSD = BSD-style license, LGPL = Lesser GPL, NCL = non-commercial use only, MPL = Mozilla Public License, SCSL = Sun Community Source License.
