The MIT and BSD licenses do allow distribution inside of commercial software without providing source code. The only real restrictions are that the MIT license requires you to include their copyright notice somewhere and the BSD license is similar.

I believe the ZLIB license also permits commercial distribution.

Off the top of my head it's only the GPL licenses that require source distribution no matter what.
