What does 'advertise' mean in this context ?
3. You must have a visible line in your programs aboutbox or
documentation that it is made using RemObjects Pascal Script and
where RemObjects Pascal Script can be found.
i. e. You must put a link to RO homepage in your about box or your readme.
Since i won't have an about box then the choice left is to put it in the
readme, not a big deal since i do that sort of thing anyway, but is
GPL-Incompatible nevertheless.
I don't see how this is incompatible, as I have no recollection of
a clause in the GPL that says that you should not credit parts of the system...
?
But never mind, that's probably me being stubborn ;-)

Take a look at Stallman's page about FreeBSD license and how freebsd "advertises
Berkley and California unreasonably" or whatever. Personally I'm more of a
FreeBSD
style guy and I might even switch to FreeBSD over linux because of religion.
That page is a load of b*s*, because the LGPL requires just the same:
your program must show the LGPL.
Nitpicking pure style. It's the spirit of the license that counts:
Free software must remain free, and you must give credit where it's due.
The rest is food for lawyers without work.
Michael.
