How do you deal with the Borland's Copyright of those VCL?

Everything is written from scratch. We are not porting the VCL but writing the FCL & LCL to emulate the VCL. In other words it will honor the same procedure names and calling parameters but what is actually done within those procedures is completely different.

First, I just would like to say congratulation. It's seem that your are working very well here. I find your project very interesting and may be, latter, I will give it my personnal touch. I doesn't have enough time right now and I like to sea how the train is going here everyday.

But there is something that I would like to know about the way your are coding the LCL or FCL. Do you rewrite all the Borland VCL from scratch or do you just modify them to make them work with the Lazarus project? How do you deal with the Borland's Copyright of those VCL?

Thank

Vital Tremblay
