Something must happen either way for intrepid. Either change 2.2.0
package to reflect the license change as a result of potential
infringement, or use the 3 month old 2.2.2 fixes release.
In retrospect, maybe we should have given more of a heads-up after 2.2.2
release, but we thought "POTENTIAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT" in the
changelog would warrant a swift update.
I stress again that 2.2.0 and previous versions are formally retracted
by FPC . The disputed code is available under the GPL (sf.net, freeclx
package) though, so relicensing the RTL (and thus effectively every
generated binary) under the GPL is possible in an emergency situation.
However such a drastic copyright change should be prominently brought to
the attention of users.
