Sternas: Yes the components are removed from the current release of CodeTyphon, but it does'nt change the fact that pilotlogic did violate the LGPL license.
I find it ridiculous that two components licensed under LGPL are being removed because you refuse to include the components original license.
- what about all the other components included which is licensed under similar license? then you should remove those too.

This is your opinion, Sir
The fact is that we don't pay for components...
We use only free software... with their licenses...

Yes, you use free software as in "free speech"... but you violate the LGPL license when you change the component name and furthermore removes the original license statement and replaces it with your own copyright notice.
A license for a software product whether provided in source code or binary form still apply. In this case the component are provided in source-only form and needs to be compiled to binary representation.

An example:
If I forked the Lazarus project, removed every reference to the GPL/LGPL license and indirectly claimed the source code is produced by myself with a copyright notice in every source file, then I would violate the GPL/LGPL license and furthermore been real screwed as I could be prosecuted due to license infringement.

--------------

That's why it's so darn important to have proper licenses in place and proper management of 3rd party licenses - even while using GPL software. Many of the big electronics manufactures have had real issues with using GPL licensed products in their televisions, routers, dvd recorders and so forth, as they "forgot" to make the source code of the included GPL software available.

Best regards
Glenn

A software license is not payment. License means software license agreement which specifies your rights as an user.

Commercial license agreements specifies you have to pay a fee or a subscription to use the software product.

Lazarus/Free Pascal, and many of the components are licensed under GPL/LGPL which says "here's the source code, do whatever you want with it as long you stick to the same license - GPL/LGPL" roughly translated. Thus you have to play by the same rules as the software products are licensed under.

Thanks.

I tried Code Typhon and built Lazarus with no problem. Then, I added project dependency to BGRABitmap and have run a test program with success.

You can do a better Windows Installer:

I have a suggestion for Code Typhon. I think it would be useful to popup a message box when building Lazarus, telling that it will be extracted, not installed with windows install, and the output directory, with buttons OK and Cancel. It would be less frightening about overwrite some existing lazarus install and by allowing user to validate the destination.

By the way, how can we change the output directory ?

Thanks Sir
I will check this for next CT release...

In this CT release we can't...
until CT ver 2.0, we will follow the same installation plan

You must remove any old freepascal installation
