I understand what you are saying, but no, it's none of Florians business (sorry Florian) to know what I'm using, or how I''m using it.
Actually I don't think that's true. I don't think that FPC has been placed in the public domain so Florian (or somebody) still retains nominal ownership and copyright. As such he emphatically DOES have a right to know that you're using the compiler and its related subprojects in accordance with the licensing terms (LGPL etc.), and that's probably particularly important in the case of e.g. the TurboPower stuff.
What is more I think that he has that "right to know" irrespective of your views or consent. Whether I like that or not is irrelevant.
I'm sure that you're aware that there is a small but growing number of companies who have been forced to admit that they were abusing the (L)GPL: do you think that they consented to the software's owners finding out that they were doing that?
