Does it make sense to include NON-free components in Lazarus distribution?

Similarly, many icons were recently removed from Lazarus because they were
NON-free, even though optional to use.

This breaks the paradigm and consistency that FPC, Lazarus and LCL are
licensed under modified LGPL <http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/licensing>.
It puts developer into a tricky situation - does one needs to check every
source code file to ensure it can be included in their code base?
