<div dir="auto">My question is why does this person even care to make such accusations? For one some of the routines in the run time are extremely generic and could easily be written exactly the same way and only way to prove it is if comments made by original coder are still in place. Sounds like a waste of time witch hunt to even entertain such thoughts without definitive proof and if said person holds back on such information that means they are interested in bottom feeder litigation..... Shameful if you ask me.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 1, 2017 11:23 PM, "Mr Bee" <<a href="mailto:pak.lebah@yahoo.com">pak.lebah@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue-Light,Helvetica Neue Light,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div id="m_978121709570325876yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483325944921_20106"><span id="m_978121709570325876yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483325944921_20130">Hi all,</span></div><div id="m_978121709570325876yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483325944921_20106"><span><br></span></div><div id="m_978121709570325876yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483325944921_20106" dir="ltr"><span id="m_978121709570325876yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483325944921_20208">There's someone accusing that Free Pascal (and some parts of Lazarus) is just a reverse engineering of Delphi.
