Are you talking of the CharacterMapDlg unit ?

If yes, isn't all the Lazarus IDE covered by a GPL v2 license ? So, in this case theoretically only a GPL license is possible.

Anyway, I guess someone of the Lazarus team could answer more precisely.

Yes talking about CharMap dialog unit

Can Mattias license this dialog also in MPL2.0?

I guess you'd probably got some better chances to have an answer to your request from the Lazarus team, by posting it in the public Lazarus mailing list.

As ChrisF mentioned you should use Lazarus mailing list for questions addressed for Lazarus developers. Instead you opened yet another bug report which is a wrong place for questions.
Why you still refuse to use the mailing list? It has been recommended for you already earlier.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.
