This is a list of open source software for OpenVMS found on the Internet.
| Name | Description | Language | Architectures | Author | Year | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SQLite 3 | This is a native port of the SQLite database package to OpenVMS. It delivers the SQLite database to OpenVMS using the following native features:
Despite these OpenVMS-specific improvements the database file maintained by SQLite is still portable to other SQLite-based applications running on other systems. |

NETLIB provides a consistent, VMS-style interface for TCP/IP-based network programs, operating with all of the currently available TCP/IP packages available today for VMS (with one minor exception). In addition, NETLIB allows for flexibility in in the use of a TCP/IP package, by selecting the vendor-dependent library code at run-time, rather than link-time. | C, Visual Basic | VAX, Alpha | Hunter Goatley | Github | |
