Exactly, and that probably makes all arguments moot in a court of law. Nevertheless, we all know FPC and Lazarus take copyrighted code very serious, and prevents using it when found. The FPC project even includes a utility to make such code comparisons and reports the results. Years ago that utility was used to find and clean room implement a few copyrighted functions (or function implementations that was too close for comfort). I also know from first hand experience that Embarcadero has been made aware of CodeTyphon's copying and distribution of FireMonkey (called Orca or something in CodeTyphon). But then again, FPC and Lazarus has nothing to do with CodeTyphon - so no need to discuss that further here.
