[fpc-devel] DOS GUI
Dear FPC-Developers! Our institution about 15 years ago was developed Turbo-Vision fork for VGA/SVGA graphics called GraphVision. Key features: * TV-like objects (classes) * BGI graphics with own clipping * Windows bitmap, cursors resource support * resources in external files (streamed objects) Currently the author agreed to give away the sources to community.

Re: [fpc-devel] DOS GUI
This is good advice. It happened to me once or twice ;) that a certain company with ever changing names used my sourcecode and licensed it under their own closed terms because i included the term: "use as you like". If the owner wants that not to happen,, choose any of these licenses mentioned. This is really important.

Even if it is in the public domain, you don't need to do anything to be able to use it (you can use it as well as anybody else). On the other hand, if you want to keep the licence terms under your control, you indeed need to choose an appropriate licence first.

Furthermore, the two units that contain said sourcecode you refer to are protected under U.S. copyright law and are our intellectual property."

Key features: * TV-like objects (classes) * BGI graphics with own clipping * Windows bitmap, cursors resource support * resources in external files (streamed objects) Currently the author agreed to give away the sources to community.
