The information you have received is wrong:
* ImageJ license: public domain
* ImageJ only developer: Wayne Rasband at the Research Service Branch, NIH
(USA).
* ImageJ contributors: anyone that can convince Wayne he has something
valuable to add. In practice, it means code that is public domain, that
does not break any existing code (either at core or plugins), and that is
generally well written and documented, and of reasonably general purpose.
* ImageJ programming languages: mainly java, also macros (ImageJ macro
language), but now also javascript (referred to as "scripting" in ImageJ
web pages).
Keep in mind that any language supported by the Java Virtual Machine can be
used to for ImageJ-related programming. This includes javascript, clojure
(a full replacement for java), jython, jruby, beanshell, groovy, and scala
(there are a few others). And also, via the JNI (java native interface) and
the JNA (java native access), any C/C++ and any other object-code compiled
program with a public API.
Some of the above languages are directly supported by the ImageJ packaged
distribution fiji, available at http:/pacific.mpi-cbg.de, along with
numerous libraries, tutorials and documentation.
Hope that helps.
