    When you say component and if you mean VCL (V for Visual), I'd say
    it is a little too early to consider using FPC/Lazarus fo rcommercial
    purposes.

    But, if you meant non-visual ones, object libraries etc. I think
    there is every reason to consider FPC.

    Actually, as things stand right now, I believe every commercial
    thing that is a server of some sort written in Delphi should be
    FPC compilable.

    That would be the best of both worlds, AFAIC.
