I believe LARS (aka L505 - or something like that) also modified the original file from Jazarsoft. I believe the original copyright was still intact as part of the Powtils (CGI Internet tools/framework) Looking at the unit included with FPC, the original copyright is there, but a new copyright header was added above it. This new one is probably not needed, unless the FPC developers explicitly wanted to limit their modified version to be LGPL2 license only?

[fpc-pascal] License terms for FastHTMLParser
While reading up on the history of FastHTMLParser (to find out who/where the root owner of this unit is) I noticed that the last release (0.4) from Jazarsoft (http://web.archive.org/web/20050112010608/http://www.jazarsoft.com/download/fasthtmlparser-0.4-delphi.zip) has a permissive license, while the file in the FPC source tree has the GPL pasted at the top. I also see that Andrew Haines is listed as the copyright holder in the FPC source, while the original file listed Jazarsoft. I know Andrew developed the chm support in FPC/Lazarus, but it seems as if he isn't the original author of this unit. I think the original license copyright should be restored for this unit, any comments?
