Questions: If I test/modify the FPC unit for GPC, and give credit where due, can that be put into GPC as an available interface? I'd probably use the Extended Pascal module syntax rather than the uses syntax, unless one of you tells me that will cause problems. Do I need permission from someone before starting? (Don't want to do an effort then find out it can't go back into GPC.)
You need permission from the author of the FPC unit. Provided it's released under a free license, you have this permission, and the license also tells which kind of acknowledgements are required.
For inclusion of code into GPC distributions, there are a bit stricter rules, but I think should a unit should be put in the contrib area of the web server anyway. (The CRT unit is included because of BP compatibility.)
