Re: [lazarus] going legal, time for a name change....
In response to your previous question, I was trying to say that by creating a legal entity, you may be giving a focus point for litigation. That was more of a devil's advocate point of view and not necessarily my own. I think that overall, a foundation would be good.. as it has been for Blender ( www.blender.org . I think that your example below is not a very good one for this case. BMW is a globally known name such as Pepsi or IBM that could be successfully litigated under trademark dilution. Based on googling lazarus, I would conclude that no one company or product could bring any type of dilution proceedings against us. If there is not a dilution case, it falls back to the original intent of trademarks, consumer protection.. are we trying to deceive users into believing that they are receiving another, trademarked product? If not, the whole compensation portion goes away. You are still left with the possibility of a cease and desist type situation, but by having the foundation named in a more generic fashion ( Open and Portable Software Development Foundation ), you could cross that bridge (change the name of lazarus) if it ever became a real problem. Matt On 8/8/07, David Lyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Marc Weustink wrote: As one of the early Lazarus developers, I feel the time to react. Hi Marc, Well I will be as polite as I possibly can :-) I'm going to try to answer your questions... but the answers are a bit dark... sorry for that in advance IMO, a foundation is for supporting lazarus and not for marketing. IMO, the foundations should not be called Lazarus but something related to lazarus. That's fine. again IMO, I don't see the need for trademarking the name lazarus. We're not selling a product. We're creating it. The problem is that somebody else somewhere else already has paid the government for the rights in the market to use the name. Creating is ok. Giving it away to the public though might be illegal. I will try to explain with a simple explanation.. Say a fellow, let's call him Hans, has a clever moment one day and adds a motor to a push-bike... brilliant... Nothing wrong so far He spends months working on that bike and one night at 1.45am he paints on the side of the bike bmw. still no problem absolutely no problem at all... looks nicer than a bought one he thinks.. all the friends like it and he makes one for all his friends... still no problem then, somebody he doesn't know, asks for one and one thing leads to another and he starts giving them away... for free - mind you - at the local market now there is a problem a big problem The real company, the trademark owner finds out. Suddenly a superior bike is appearing needing less spare parts. What Hans has been doing is making something and giving it away to the public using somebody elses trademark. The Trademark owner spends 70 euros and gets an order from the local court to shut Hans down. But it gets worse. They do some dodgy numbers and try to run it by the judge. They demand compensation based on the retail price of the top of the line bike for every model Hans made and gave away. They then look at growth rates across the country. They find Hans's city isn't at the top. So they add the difference between the top city and Hans city onto the compensation bill for Hans to pay. Why not blame Hans for that ? It comes to a very large number. Hans is now in very big trouble. Hans goes to court but can't beat the expensive lawyers. Hans tries to fight for his right to give away motorbikes but ends up losing his home, car, wife and kids, and friends. Being in another country is no longer an excuse. Even if I am in Australia, I can't put those magic three letters on any form of bike and sell or even give them away. So whoever owns the trademark, owns the word exclusively for that type of product. That is the way it is... What if someone else trademarks a lazarus ide ? Would all my code be void or owned by someone else ? No. Its still ours. Open source is different than motor bikes. But in the theoretical Hans case, he might be forced by the court to stop working on motor bikes for a period of ten years, in return for not going to jail for 5 years. Not sure what the maximum penalty for trademark infringement is, but I would be surprised if a jail term wasn't possible. Would it stop me, no. :-) how much is a trademark in europe again ? split amonst how many people ? seems rather cheap to me... price of a bus ticket isn't it ? Anyway, we're just discussing things, and these are just theoritical situations. The real problem here, if you missed the point, is that (your) software is getting too good to give away freely. It has to have a unique makers stamp... don't spoil it with a name that was found in the street... Regards David _
Re: [lazarus] going legal, time for a name change....
Because changing the name of software is traumatic.

Florian, True. You can run for many years without any legal protection with a given name. But if somebody comes along tomorow and registers your name as a trademark, you are going to have one expensive legal battle on your hands to get your name back. In the meantime, you can be issued with a cease trading order from a local court. Then you may have to wait up to 12 months to get your day in court. Then when you finally get into court, you may need to find up to $4000 per day in court to defend your use of the name It's just so stressful.. Why would anybody want to go through that ? When the costs of doing the proper registrations are just so low A trademark in Australia costs about $220 or 150 euro and can be defended in the United States. Just pick a new name. I understand your position, but you must be prepared to understand the position of people in other countries also. We are trying to have a sensible international discussion here. It isn't just about what you can and can't do in Germany. Other countries are involved also. Why knowingly proceed ahead if you know you will be breaking the Law in the United States ?

[lazarus] GTK2
Hi, I have a quick question, how close is the gtk2 widget set to being usable for the Lazarus interface?

[lazarus] TStringGrid Question
I am using a TStringGrid in a project that I am working on. I have a few questions about the use of this and all my delphi books seem to delve into DBGrids but not string grids. Here are my questions:1. My grid would allow the user to enter data in the first column while the other columns show result based on the data just entered. How do I selectively restrict data entry to a column/row/cell? 2. If the user presses enter while in a cell, the cell to the right of the previous one is selected. How do I change this so that the one below is active?3. What is the best event to use for updating a running total as the user enters data? In other words, the user has entered a number and gone to the next cell, I want to do a summation and present the new total. Thanks!Matt Henley
Re: [lazarus] lazarus licensing
If you are looking for a legally sound place to find it.. from inside Lazarus click on the Help and then About. It states clearly (inside the IDE) that the program is licensed under GPL/LGPL.

Re: [lazarus] lazarus licensing
Are some employers that paranoid? I mean.. go to the http://lazarus.freepascal.org website and click on About Lazarus... that page explains it pretty well... including the Can I develop commercial products with this? section. Just a little up the page, it says that the IDE is gpl. But copright in source pulled from the development site by your employer from cvs/svn is about as trustworthy as you are going to get. If needed they can pull up the development history.Copyright on the source code could be faked, so ours employers can't trust them.Our IT department loves GPL software.. they dont push it as a panacea but we have Dia, Gimp, Scribus and Firefox(gpl?) floating around.

[lazarus] fonts in Lazarus
Hi,Dumb question I suppose, but I just spent two weeks in Singapore on business, and used lazarus on my laptop running Windows XP. I just got back and started doing work on lazarus under linux and noticed the fonts in the editor look pretty bad. I have changed them around and found a font that looks a little better. However, overall it still looks pretty ragged. What causes that? Fonts under my other applications in linux look much better. Matt
[lazarus] Temperary FTP Speace
Quick question for everyone. As some might know, I am working on a program in Lazarus with a group of people fairly spread out. The project manager is in northern Brazil. He has developed the beginings of an interface and it is working fine on WinXP, but it is not working under Linux. Unfortunately, he does not know how to quickly set up a Linux box so he can debug. In response, I have created a vmware system image of a linux machine with lazarus and zeoslib/firebird and svn version of OpSim which builds OpSim quite nicely. It is runable with the free version of vmware player ( http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ). Here is my problem, the zip'd image file is a little over a GB (I did not strip everything out of a Ubuntu installation for fear of not having a stable system). Samuel has given me access to a ftp site to put it on. However, so far I have not been able to upload it ... the file gets to 600 mb and the server stops responding... Does anyone have a location (ftp or web based ) that I can place this image for a couple of weeks? Anyone is free to use it.. it is a fully usuable pre set up linux installation.. it just needs the svn synced to the current version. I need to get this done fairly quickly as I have a flight to Singapore set for Monday and hotel links tend to have slow uploads...Matt Henley

[lazarus] Object pascal a Modern Language
I belong to a mailing list for a defunt open source chemical process simulator (Sim42). Members of the list are now showing interest in restarting the effort. It was originally written in python which cause some speed issues. Several of the list members (including me) suggested freepascal and lazarus. The gentleman spearheading the effort sent the following and I would like to know what is the best way to respond. I do not know what features define a modern language and would like to know what points to bring up. My personal objective is not just to put out a simulator, but a fast and efficient simulator. Furthermore, personally, I do not consider a program portable if it is written in a language which very few can understand. A modern language such as any of the .NET languages will meet the efficiency objective but portability remains an issue. While I do have the Visual Studio .NET and I am happy with it, I understand that not everybody has it and it is not cheap. I looked at the Lazarus project and (at least at a first glance) it is indeed very Visual and will likely do the job. It will however, limit us to Pascal which is not really a modern language. For those of you who are in favor of using Lazarus, can you assure the rest of us that Pascal has been modernized?
