Quite possibly, and there have in fact been discussions about FPC's
licensing on fpc-pascal and/or fpc-devel in the past.
Statements in the spirit of "license X sucks because it is less free
than license Y" (no matter how much you consider that to be an
objective truth) however do not invite discussion about the
consequences of FPC's licensing, but rather provoke emotionally laden
flamewars about the generic properties of various licenses, and later
on probably the people/organisations behind hem.
You can do that here or on Slashdot if you want to, but not on fpc-
pascal/fpc-devel.
