...if FreePascal and *some* "clone-variant" of the VCL class library aren't quite ready yet, just go on using *your existing* copy of Kylix a while longer. I don't think they'll be legally able to revoke your license, yaknow...
And *if* FP/Lazarus (or FP/FreeCLX or FP/Jedi-VCL or whatever) *doesn't* materialize in five years (or whatever; say two or three years after the last release), and you really *are* forced to abandon Kylix for good... Then you've had five years (or whatever) of glorious use of Kylix, so you've still got a heck of a great deal.
