aggpas Component License
« on: July 15, 2024, 10:45:40 pm »
My company will not allow installation of Lazarus because the aggpas component license is free for non-commercial use only.

Are you aware of this?

Thanks

It isn't. It just requires a copyright notice.

If I smell bad code it usually is bad code and that includes my own code.

I think it's about gpc.pas. From lazarus\components\aggpas\readme.txt:

They should update their license page.

is not visible there. anyway, few exceptions and it is not even compiled by default.
The license page does not mention 3-clause bsd, but it is 3-clause bsd conformant: free, but the copyright should be mentioned in both binary or adapted sourcecode distributions.
