I have to agree. Borland better take a step back and note that the developer network will not stand M$ tactics. But with that in mind they do have a very large job dealing with all the distros and the fast moving database vendors. MySQL has made so many positive changes that I'm wondering if I should use it instead of Postgres.

But the real reason for choosing Kylix is I need to sell my work without providing the source. If I use a GNU C++ I have to provide source. In your situation you don't worry about source. I wonder, what ever you write for NDR is it Public Domain? If it is - how does one get the software.
