Besides, I'm not even sure if Revolution is truly-compiled code or some kind of intermediary bytecode; I thought it was the latter, but by now I could be wrong. If it is, indeed, bytecode, then all they'd have to do is port the framework, a much easier job (but of course Revolution-created apps would pay the price in performance).
