However this whole registering-paperwork process hampers the openness
severely.

Actually, it's quite a simple process -- a single piece of paper to
sign. But we only do that for code that we are going to take over,
like the TGIFImage classes.


Hallelujah, Nick! This is the normal way of thinking! Way to go!

Well, to be honest, we do largely enterprise apps so, I didn't praise you because the TGIFImage will be the ring 0 of our IT portfolio, but I'm on your side because, imho, a right way of thinking results in a right way of acting. (In fact the one who said this, said in the inverse order: "The wrong way of thinking brings the wrong way of acting").

Also, perhaps is a "quite simple process" also for

Imho, if you manage to merge the two+one above in one happy umbrella over TImage/TImage32 aegis it will be something that will totally rock.
