+1  Q: 

Are the any open-source licenses which are incompatible with a C# winforms app?

I'm open sourcing my app, which was built in C# using Windows Forms.

Are there any licensing issues I should be aware of? In particular, are there any open-source licenses that I'm prevented from using?

+3  A: 

Not that I'm aware of. Open-source licenses control the rights to code that you wrote; it doesn't necessarily require that the underlying platform or framework be open-source.

You do need to check the licenses of any third-party libraries you use, though.

This was really what I was worried about. As long as the Winforms components aren't considered a 3rd party library, I'll be OK.
