I fully agree with other postings, it's a nonsense. But there's a fact
I'd like to point to Lazarus community.
Kylix 3 has been distributed also in a GPL'd version. Not the IDE, but
nobody gives a damn: at least in non/windows environment, Borland's IDE
is slow, unstable and buggy.
However there's a full basic set of GPL components, which are at Delphi
7 level, as compared to Delphi 4 level of many Lazarus components.
Why not take advantage of them, and provide an almost 100% source
compatibility with Delphi, now that Delphi is dead?
GPL components have been developed with multi-platform in mind, with
platform/interface specificities isolated well enough to make the
porting to Lazarus interface independent structure an affordable task.
I've already started trying to compare Lazarus and Delphi GPL
components. If there's some interest, I'd feel encouraged to go on, and
to share with others what I'm doing.
