Question:

Regarding the copyright discussion on KOL+FPC:
Would it be better if I prepared the kolfpc package to work without the adapted borland units and use the JEDI win32API files instead? You opinion is highly regarded.

Thaddy

yes. free library should use free units. %-)

Well, Borland units are distributed under GPL license so you can use them freely(of course you should keep all it's copyrights). But JEDI has a lot of APIs that Borland haven't

1) What is a license of KOL for FPC?
2) What is a license of JEDI win32api?
If the KOL license is more free than GNU (e. g. allows to use this library to create a closed-source software) then that would be better, to use also a mostly free-licensed API library. BTW, maybe, API included into Virtual Pascal package could be also used?

Yes! It will be great.
