can be commercialized freely without need to pay for any royalty or
license?

exactly...

You can create any kind of application with Lazarus/FPC, under
whatever license you want, as long you specify it was developed using
Lazarus.

Enjoy

To make sure: The freedom applies to the LCL, RTL and most packages
from FPC.

If you use additional components (included in Lazarus or downloaded)
you must check each component for it's license.

is it really needed to specify that?

I think yes, and....that should be the thank you do to the developers.
I mean, if you don't even want to put that into your application, you
developed using a FREE tool, without paying anything ...well, then I'm
not sure this is the right place for you.

i think that type of support (like specifying IDE) is good, but when
i'm creating an application that is not complicated and it is created
fast - then i'm not thinking about placing even any info about the
author.

ok ok, I agree with that, but if other persons are going to use your
application, then IMHO you should specify it. If its just a stupid app
you use yourself, then I understand you don't do that

Yeah, and I do agree mentioning "Developed with Lazarus" is a must
to show appreciation for this superb IDE!

Meaning you can provide your application as Shareware, Freeware, Open
Source, just sell it, just wathever you want, as long you specify it
was made with Lazarus - FPC.

This is AFAIK,

Although this is something you might want to do, there is no
requirement in the license that you do it.

Thanks.

Lazarus/FPC is FREEDOM in every sense of that word.
