I wonder why these kind of questions (production use, license, compatibility)
still arise these days, while the answers are very obvious through the FAQ and
the wiki (both on FPC and Lazarus). Perhaps the informations are less visible to
the visitors? (deep beneath the menus? there's no direct link to them? etc..).
Just FYI... I've been using FPC and Lazarus for production since FPC v.2.0.0 and
Lazarus v.0.9.14 (about 1 year ago or so). I've create some new projects or
convert Delphi projects using this version, both commercial and freeware (open
source) projects. So, I convince you that FPC/Lazarus is ready for production
use and will have no problem with the license. But, I'm really looking forward
for FPC v.2.0.4 and Lazarus v.1.0. Hopefully this version will be improved a lot. :)
HTH.

Also I'm not planning to do any production use, the more interesting
question - out of my view - is the legal issue. Technical things you
can try...
What do the licences of FP and Lazarus mean for a program? For example
can I sell a program written with lazarus/FP? Do I have to publish the
source code then? Is the whole lazarus libary (lcl) under one license
or do I have to skip units? Is LCL/Lazarus licence the same as FP
license?
This questions are on my mind if I read about production use.
