Hello,

As it is my first post in this forum, let me just say a big thanks to Synopse, and especially to Arnaud Bouchez, for all their valuable tools and for sharing them.


Concerning my question, I'd like to have a precision about the license of the Light VCL (LVCL).

The whole tool is released under a Mozilla Public License version 1.1 (i.e. an open source license). But, in the code source of the LVCL a (possibly confusing) reference is present concerning a Borland copyright:

...
  Emulates the original Delphi/Kylix Cross-Platform Runtime Library
  (c)2000,2001 Borland Software Corporation
...

What does it mean exactly:
- that some parts of the LVCL are copyrighted by Borland (which seems incompatible with the MPL license of the LVCL) ?
- that the "Delphi/Kylix Cross-Platform Runtime Library" is copyrighted by Borland, but not the LVCL (which is only an emulation of it) ?
- anything else ?

I'd really appreciate to get a precision concerning the exact meaning of this declaration.
