What would be the issue?  If it's added as a FCL "extra" package (eg:
packages/fcl-dcpcrypt/ ), it is not linked to anything in FPC or FCL,
only shipped with FPC, I can't see any issues.

In theory that should even allow MPL and GPL packages to be shipped
with FPC, because it is only shipped (distributed) with FPC, not
compiled and linked into FPC.

If the license is really an issue, I can always email the original
author of DCPCrypt (if he is still around) and ask if we can
dual-license it for LGPL + static linking exception.
