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.
