| Author of _DELFTship_ is an author of original opensource
| _FREE!ship_ in Delphi. But after _FREE!ship_ v2.60 project was
| abandoned on SourceForge.[0]
|
| Then _FREE!ship_ was forked and extended into _FREE!ship Plus_
| [1] by Associate Prof. _Victor Timoshenko_ [2] (National
| Univerisity of Shipbuilding, Mykolaiv, Ukraine). _FREE!ship
| Plus_ v3.50 was the last release of extended fork in Delphi,
| and it also got a lot of closed source freeware plugins.[3]
|
| Since 2015 _FREE!ship Plus_ was forked into _FreeShip Plus in
| Lazarus_ by _Mark Malakanov_ , initially it was planned as a
| port for Linux[4]. Project is active on GitHub.
|
| Also, there was the _ShipCAD_ -- a try by _Greg Green_ to
| rewrite original _FREE!ship_ to C++ /Qt, but it was unfinished
| and abandoned.[5]
