Hi,

I've seen around, on windows and may be other OSes, readonly labels
the user can select text and copy from, but I don't find in LCL an
equivalent. I've also tried Statictext.

Does someone know how to implement this, possibly in a portable way?

TLabel is inherited from TGraphicControl not TWinControl, so it cannot
receive focus. I would try TEdit with the following properties:
      ReadOnly --> True
      Color --> BtnFace
      BorderStyle --> bsNone

Yup. Go for Getmem's suggestion. Note you should also hide the cursor.
You can still select the text and C/P
