Re: [fpc-devel]Delphi compiler Sibyl

[Marco van de Voort]

 
 Some years ago there was a Delphi compiler named Sibyl
 for OS2 from a German company. Now it's under GPL.

No, if you read well, you'll see that only the modifications of the author
are under GPL.

It does say something about (parts of) Sybil being published on the homepage,
but not strictly that they are GPL.

 Hi!

 Can be found at http://members.chello.at/webstar/

 I think there are interesting concepts.

I have these sources since some years.
Since the start of project Megido (a predecessor of Lazarus) to be exact.

The biggest problem with them is that they're not Delphi
compatible enough. They work fine, but are not usable as-is.
