If that component is released as CreateCommons now, where can I find the 
(original) source of it? I've looked at the href.com page and haven't 
found it yet...

As I weren't yet able to look at the code I'll have to guess regarding 
your problem:
You need to put the component into a Lazarus package (create a new 
package and add all units to it). Then you need to mark all units that 
contain a Register procedure as such (at the bottom of the package are 
two check boxes, one of them is for units with "register" procedures). 
Then you need to install this package into the IDE (of course you need 
to recompile the IDE then).

If it is indeed released as CreativeCommons, what about adding it to the 
Lazarus Code and Component Repository on SourceForge?
