Then you don't sign it.

This is definetly wrong.
Even the FSF is not _that_ strict. 
They have acctepted various Java components as free softare 
which currently only work with proprietory libraries.

Our task is to replace a proprietary privacy program with a free one.
When it is not possible to replace all at once, we need to 
replace them one by one.

Therefore the free software product has to be usable in the
foreign einvironment. Yet it has to follow some rules there.

My argumentation above holds here, too.
AFAIK free software projects for implementing a free delphi compiler
are under way.

We can also use a different installer when we have time to test it 
later.
