I think it would be very good for lazarus to have a good Tee-Chart compatible graphing component. The easiest way would be for Steema to publish a GPL version of and old version of Tee-chart. I believe that releasing the source with GPL license for such an old version wouldn't be a problem. But that's their choice.
