Last time i checked you needed the sources, Lazarus expects to have the
sources not just the compiled units.
Distributing compiled units would also be a problem because the units are
processor dependent while the sources might be compiled for multiple
platforms and CPUs.
If i remember correctly the Delphi developers also have a plan to make the
compiled units independent of the processor but i'm not sure how soon this
would happen for FreePascal. Because FPC and Lazarus are OpenSource projects
it is probably reasonable to require the sources for every package or
component.
