Hello Sternas,

I use Lazarus for years for Delphi altnernative because i dont want use illegal software.I also own Delphi 7 Personal,Delphi 2005 Personal and Delphi Explorer licenses and they are free but have limitations.
With CT Lazarus becomes more and more components and i love that but i confused with one of them..its the ORCA lib..its original name vas VG-SCENE at ksdev.com..after sold to Embarcadero, name canged to Firemonkey.
My question is : it is legal to use this library..i dont want break the law.

Thank you for CT Studio,thank you for your effort.

( Sorry for bad English)

Sir
ORCA it's our Components library
now "like" ORCA can be a lot of Libraries

Understand Sternas.Thank you again.

Hello.
Im looking for tools for blind people.
ORCA : live.gnome.org/Orca can do that.
Is your ORCA component the solution ?
Does ORCA need LCL ? (i mean, is it possible to use ORCA in console app or using fpGUI ?

Many thanks.

No Sir
pl_ORCA is a 2D and 3D Graphic Elements Library
and need LCL

Where can I find demos for ORCA?
I'm interested in loading different animated models with somewhat of GLScene easiness. Is that possible with ORCA?

Is there any doc on the ORCA library?

No yet Sir
we building our Wiki for this

Hello.

Is ORCA library code licensed as freeware? Like KGrid?

Or LGPL with static linking exception, like LCL?
In source I can find only

ORCA 2D/3D Library
Copyright (C) PilotLogic Software House
www.pilotlogic.com

Package pl_ORCA.pkg
This unit is part of CodeTyphon Studio

At least I can figure out, that it is not Public Domain.

What is exact license for ORCA code (or CodeTyphon Studio mentioned in sources)?

Or it is complete freeware, like stated in CodeTyphon About

CodeTyphon is the FREE "Pascal Visual Programming Studio", ...
This Project is licensed as: Freeware. (and You can do what you want)

Sir, ORCA is FREE library
now we translate this to
LGPL or MPL or any FREE and OPEN SOURCE and NO COST license
of copyleft software.

Edit: Seems, that with MPL it can be used in commercial apps.
Thanks.

Sir
with any library of CodeTyphon and with CodeTyphon
you can build and commercial software without releasing the source code
This commercial software is your property.
We give you the tool of FREE.

CT is NOT commercial product, is our programming tool and
we offer you our programming tool FREE-AS-FREEDOM.

We DON'T make "tricks" with CT or CT-Libraries license.

Is so difficult to accept the totally FREE-AS-FREEDOM use of a programming tool?

Perhaps you do not speak the same software


set path license

Thank you for your clear explanation.

Have fun Sir have fun..

Ooops.. delete this, please. My browser was too slow to show me that there are navigation buttons and 'm answering an old post...

Hi guys,
I'm not bale to compiler ORCA for ARM. Is lib limited to x86? And do you have in plan to support ARM linux as target as well?

Thanks.

Yes Sir
in lab CT version 4.7 we split pl_ORCA library to:
a)-pl_ORCA and
b)-pl_ORCA3D

Now we try to code these 2 libraries for any CPU-OS-Platform

ct 4.7 when expected?

Sir,
we want to release this version before the end of this year
