I see the cooporation as being limited on both parts. It was more or
less with the idea of helping us get Lazarus to work with CLX in it's
open source license format. It was never with the intention that we
would contribute to their product only that we would be able to
incorporate Kylix GPL'ed code with the Lazarus code and IDE.

Will the dialog and corporation happen?     I don't know.

Can we do it if we want to?    That is even more of the question. Since
the FCL, RTL, LCL, etc. are a modified LGPL so that commercial products
can be built I don't know that we could even integrate CLX marginally
unless it was a totally different branch and didn't use the FCL or LCL
to produce products. Then it could be just a GPL'ed product which the
CLX code is under.

Again time will tell.
