To prove this point, I attached the output of 'sim_pasc' comparing the
LCL's controls.pas to the Kylix 3 QControls.pas
Even some of the comments are identical!

See attached file for output:
  Line 5-30  (code looks the same)
  Line 60-69  (even comments are the same)
  Line 351-355 (code identical)
  ...etc...



Disclaimer:
There are many false positives!  I'm NOT accusing anybody of any
infringements as I don't know the history of each file and if portions
of the code possibly came from public domain.  I'm just saying it
might be worth a review.
