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. Razvan
