> 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.
