GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) is a free, modern COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, X/Open COBOL and newer ISO COBOL standards (2002, 2014, 2023), as well as many extensions included in other COBOL compilers (IBM COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT and others).
GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and internally compiles the translated code using a native C compiler.

LIXA, LIbre XA, is a free and open source XA transaction manager
...The client/server architecture of LIXA allows many application containers to share a single LIXA (state) server: this is ideal when horizontal scalability is a must and many identical application containers must refer to a single transactional environment.
LIXA can be used with the C, C++, Java, Python and COBOL programming languages.
...Developers are encouraged to signal interest in write permissions, as this will be an open to all, COBOL utility project.
