mORMot Open Source

Bonjour Arnaud,

It's a nice way to shoot themselves on the foot, and the message is clear: Embarcadero acknowledge Delphi market is a niche shrinking market, and they have to milk it to death before it disappears. They have been unable or unwilling to grow the user base, so the only way they found to expand their revenue is to make it more expensive, and they don't care if it kills the product.
If it is true, for me it's the end of a long relationship with Delphi.
About your framework, I doubt an EULA like this is valid in Europe, and it's probably not valid in the U.S. as well.
A third party component seller could loose his partner status by not abiding to the rule, but I think open source projects are safe. The problem is that this license will shrink Delphi user base even more.
I used FPC and Lazarus in a couple of small projects, it's time to give them another chance.

Cordialement,

Gerard.
