And anyone who now read that description should be very careful to modify the current description in the FPC documentation, because if the result looks too much like the Delphi description then it would be extremely hard to argue that the author came up with it independently.

In general: please do not copy/paste any text or code by Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero on our mailing lists, fora, bug tracker etc. That is simply the nature of copyright: once you are exposed to something, you are tainted. And the more recent the exposure, the more tainted you are. There are no hard and fast rules regarding what is copyright infringement and what not (even in case of identical copies it depends on the length and nature), but not posting any direct quotes at all is always safe.
