What I found in Lazarus code so far was that somebody _was_ peaking at
the Delphi code at some stage. Numerous methods have variables
declared with the exact same names, type and order or appearance.
Changing the said likelihoods might help to obfuscate the potential
peeking but does that

I am noone here, but I think that Borland have always know that (if that
is true ;) ).

It was brought to our attention by a ex-Borland employee (Steve
Trefethen), that FPC contains some stolen code from Delphi. Especially
Delphi 4 5.

I have heard that there is software that can do code comparisons to
find infringements (I'm thinking of a article between Linux and Minix
code). Anybody got such a program available so we can possibly do a
automated comparison. I'll try and find out what was used to compare

The scary thing is, I used the tool mentioned earlier (sim_pasc) and
did a few random tests on Lazarus code and Kylix 3 code. My god,
there is a lot of similar code and no, I'm not talking about the class
interfaces

You (or other FPC core team members) should write a blog post about this
and explain this situation in more complete description, instead write
it as comment on someone's blog. This way, other people would see a
better and more comprehensive responses from FPC side.

I would like to apologize to the Lazarus developers. I jumped the gun
a bit. I should have done a bit of RTFM before
And a single code comparison can be seen here... FPC code is on the right.

Reading the description carefully it seems like he has modified the
delphi code to look more like the FPC code.

Good news is that that's where the similarity ends (well in the units I
checked). Importantly, the
method bodies seem to be implemented differently, except for the very
elementary methods.

A simple or very basic methods only two or three lines long.
Something like a property Getter or Setter method.

Yes.
