I've looked into that in several places, but licensing becomes an issue. The LCL is LGPL with the exception clause, while the IDE seems to be generally GPL.
Software licenses apply to whatever is the subject of a specific license contract. The contract can specify different license models for groups of files, as can be seen in lazarus/COPYING.txt.
A source file can be licensed under multiple models, in different license contracts. A source file without a license or copyright notice is *not* in the public domain, it can *not* be used in any way without a separate licencse agreement.
I see no problem with licensing e.g. the Find dialog under GPL when used in building the IDE, and under LGPL when used in other applications as part of the LCL.
