Well,

Friday, saturday and sunday, the FPC team has a meeting in brussels. There will be a lawyer present, who specializes in Copyright law for software. I will ask him these questions.

Hello,

I think we must be a little bit more careful:

I noticed that there are Delphi code blocks in the Lazarus code (more specific in commctrl).
This is NOT allowed by the Delphi license, and we cannot distribute such code !! the risk of a law suit is too big..

It is my opinion that the maximum that we can do is to copy the interface declaration of an object, to make an empty code template, which we then fill in.

It it possible to pay attention to this, or at least mess with the code so that it is no longer recognizable as Delphi code ?

Michael.

in fact any operation like open vcl file, copy something is not allowed

too dangerous guys,

with best regards,

Great! As you know this is an issue I have been worried about. :-)
