Corresponding issue report: http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29869
Every LCL application includes icons (at least) from the famfamfam (Silk icon set) that are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5/3.0 license. As a result every LCL application that does not acknowledge them, breaks the CC license. LCL is advertised as "(L)GPL licensed with static linking exception", which is not true because the LCL includes CC-licensed icons.
The Lazarus team will solve the issue for 1.6.2. We'll try to get a license exception for LCL applications. If we don't get this exception all CC-licensed icons will be removed from the LCL and will be replaced by public-domain icons.
For now, please take into consideration that your LCL application must acknowledge the Silk Icon Set http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/ .
