Ugh, sorry to drop into this thread, but that reminded me of a problem I 
have. I'm not much oriented in licences, hence I ask your help -- I 
created a collection of FPC units, game-dev oriented, and I wanted to 
release them to the public for I (and maybe only myself ^_^) think they 
might be useful for others. After little tought I decided on LGPL - but 
a friend of mine brought to my attention, that people using the library 
will still be forced to open their sources if using my library -- which 
is not what I wanted.

What I want is to allow true freedom of using that library -- eg. for a 
closed-source commercial product too. The only thing I would like is 
that I am given credit for my work -- if a game uses the libraries, I 
want to be noted somewhere.

I heard something about the FPC RTL licence -- maybe thats the type of 
licence I need? Also, what would you guys suggest?
