Thinking about it further... I guess even if the judge rules thatAPI's are
copyrightable in the US, Embarcadero would have a hard timecoming after the FPC
project.... because the latest Delphi ships withand uses FPC for its iOS (ARM)
support. So in a way Embarcadero is OKwith FPC (excluding Lazarus).
Definitely not a safe conclusion. Embarcadero could argue that they
owned the IP that FPC was implementing, and were using the FPC compiler
whilst at the same time preparing a legal attack.
