I am noone here, but I think that Borland have always know that (if that 
is true ;) ).

IMHO, they are complaining now cause Lazarus/FPC is becoming a better 
product than Delphi.

So the road is not the wrong one, but in reality the right one.

Some code must be very similar, you're doing the same things.
And honestly I don't think that the most important sources of 
FPC/Lazarus are the functions to manipulate the strings...

Always IMHO.
