This opens another can of worms as was discussed earlier in the month
on the FPC Dev mailing list. Currently Lazarus doesn't support dynamic
loading of packages, which makes it impossible for commercial
companies to create packages without releasing the source.
IMHO dynamic or static linking wouldn't matter at all. Both are linking in the
GPL sense.
The component plugin interface has to be explicitely exempted
from the GPL (which isn't even that uncommong for plugin interfaces afaik)
The 'component plugin interface' is in the ideintf directory. The source in that
directory is licensed under modified LGPL. Is that good enough for 'explicitely
exempted from GPL'?
