I'm unsure what you mean here. CPRS was built using a commercial product called Delphi. but the source is in the public domain. Granted, if someone set out today to develop an open source product, this would be an unlikely platform choice, but that's not the way VistA started out life. I believe that alternative user interfaces have been developed as well, but they are different products, not VistA. There are a few options for building GUI interfaces to VistA, and there is nothing to stop developers from building new GUI applications for use in conjunction with VistA if they wish.
