Comment (by pulkomandy):

 For distribution of the release CDs, we need the sources of all bundled
 packages to be on the CD (this is the simplest way to ensure GPL
 compliance). Or, we need to build a GPL-free version of Haiku for the
 releases and not include any GPL sourcecode, which would be not so nice
 (no NTFS support for example).

 I don't know if this needs source install to also work with pkgman, but it
 would be nice to have that as well for symetry. Wether it has to be a
 beta1 blocker is open to debate, however.
