No, not unless RunRev makes arrangements to incorporate Fred's extension
into subsequent releases of LiveCode.

Yes, just like Add-Ons in the RunRev store or 3rd party extensions for
LiveCode. Open Language will allow a add-on/stack
library/external/whatever developer for LiveCode to have their widget
use similar natural language syntax that (most) of LiveCode uses.

If I recall past public messaging on Open Language from RunRev
correctly, when you add-on/extension/whatever contains an open language
syntax defintion, their intent is to dynamically add it to the
dictionary when the add-on/extension/whatever is loaded.

It is only Fred's secret if he (a) wants it to be or (b) fails to
communicate his add-on/extension's availability or (c) Fred tells
everyone and no one sees, reads, or remembers his posts. Just as with
any 3rd party add-on, library, or extension to LiveCode.
