I've been a fan first of Turbo Pascal and now Delphi partly because most of
the library units come with source code.  I've had occasion to make a few
bug fixes and enhancements while developing commercial software.  I also
use some of TurboPower's units which they sell with all the source which
I've had occasion to fix.

NOTE:  Our commercial software is NOT sold with source.
