Some files of RTL core are under the "full" GPL license, not a LGPL. Is it a new politics of FPC?
There are some files which are necessary. As example, rtl/linux/i386/syscallh.inc, etc.

No. Must have been an oversight/bad copy/paste.
If you have more files, don't hesitate to name them. The syscallh.inc was created by me, so that is certainly a mistake.

These certainly do _not_ refer to GPL, but to LGPL (see for yourself ;-) ). Would you be so kind and post an update to the forum mentioned above, please? The forum seems to be Russian only, and I don't have a Russian keyboard installed.
