Re: [lazarus] lazarus licensing

[Matt Henley]

Are some employers that paranoid?  I mean.. go to the http://lazarus.freepascal.org website and click on About Lazarus...  that page explains it pretty well... including the "Can I develop commercial products with this?" section.  Just a little up the page, it says that the IDE is gpl.

But copright in source pulled from the development site by your employer from cvs/svn is about as trustworthy as you are going to get.  If needed they can pull up the development history.

>Copyright on the source code could be faked, so ours employers can't trust them.

Our IT department loves GPL software.. they dont push it as a panacea but we have Dia, Gimp, Scribus and Firefox(gpl?) floating around.
