Actually, the IdeIntf is LGPL + linking permission.
So, if you only use the IDEIntf (and LCL, RTL)
and do not ship a pre-build IDE with your package included
then you can use any license.
Users can build an IDE with your package, but must publish the build exe
(if I am right: the GPL used for the IDE, does not restrict what you do
on your PC, only what you can publish)
The idea always was:
- IDE => GPL, so it stays free, including any forked IDE must be free
for ever.
- IDEIntf => LGPL, so commercial (or other) plug-ins are possible
Effectively it should be possible to *distribute* a plug-in in *binary*
form, created respecting LGPL. A user must be able to rebuild the IDE
including that binary package.
