Tweets and Retweets 18 :design vs runtime 

Marco,

Thank you for your pointer to the very crisp analysis
of the embarcadero intent of package technology.

IMHO however, this distinction between design and
runtime serves little other purpose than an attempt to
protect embarcadero's intellectual property in both
the delphi language and IDE.

In Europe, soon a decision is expected by the High
Courts of the EU (ECJ), in the case SAS institute
against World Programming (Case C-406/10), concerning
the possibility if such IPR exists/can be cloned if
done in a fair and correct way..... Interesting list
of questions asked by the UK courts to the ECJ
