You misunderstand me, I think ?
The license issue is not relevant: currently, sources MUST be supplied,
or you cannot use the package. You simply cannot get them in the IDE if
you don't have the sources.
So distributing a package for Lazarus as binary only is simply not an
option, regardless of the license you may or may not wish to use.
Hence my remark that the whole point is moot...
Michael.
