Back to the topic: I think the Lazarus project could SELL products like
this:

Ubuntu also has a service called "Ubuntu Advantage" which gives
advantages to enterprises that choose to pay a fee, like a network admin
tool, a 24/7 support phone line and access to an exclusive online
knowledge base "written and audited by senior engineers". I do not know
what kind of "advantages" the Lazarus/FPC team could offer, but it is a
valid business model.
The FPC and Lazarus teams just should offer nothing at extra cost.
That's the privilege of third parties, which make money from the lack of
documentation, installation trouble and whatever else could not be
achieved or offered by the developers. Free software projects should not
be crippled in any way, for the purpose of making money with
intentionally hidden or removed features or other material.
