Richmond, I am no expert, but isn't it a matter of the GPL? If its released under the GPL, and if source is supplied on demand, its open source. Now it may have been written in a proprietary language, but I think that is technically allowed. Though there will be those who will object, and this was at the bottom of the Gnome/KDE wars, where the problem was that Qt was not 'free', or not totally free, whereas obviously Gtk was.
It is true, that even if source is available, one of the aims of OSS can be subverted if access to the language or tools is restricted, so the purists have a point. But I think, technically, you can have OSS stuff written in a proprietary language.
