This was the whole concept around the Google vs Oracle case.


No, that was the concept around the current verdict in the case, it 
could still be overturned by a superior court.


APIs are not copyrightable (although they could potentially be protected 
by patent, or by the DMCA) but chatty description (comments etc.) of 
them probably is.


Remember that Jonas has asked that this thread adjourn to the fpc-other 
list.

[fpc-pascal] Byte ordering in IP4 and IP6 addresses

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

If preparing an address returned by fpgetpeername() for display or 
logging, should I be using HostAddrToStr() or NetAddrToStr()?


Is anybody aware that HostAddrToStr() and HostAddrToStr6() appear to 
return addresses different ways round in 2.6.0 on Linux x86? 
NetAddrToStr() and NetAddrToStr6() appear to be consistent.
