[fpc-pascal] fpc course

[kapibara]

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of starting a FPC/Lazarus course in my local area. It would 
be interesting to know where you all think FPC (and Lazarus) is in 5-10 
years?

Personally I think ObjectPascal is a great and productive language, 
hence, I'd like to see it flourish. (C# simply reminds of my six wasted 
years with C/C++ in the early 90's)

However, it doesn't matter how good it is if for example Embarcadero 
raises some copyright issue or something. And the FPC/Lazarus projects 
has to go. That sounds of course like madness to come with that now, 
10-20 years after the conception of fpc/lazarus. Still, can someone 
reassure that the FPC/Lazarus projects can't be forced to be shut down 
for such reasons? Because the the students will have my balls.

Regards,
Kapi.
