There is the GPL and also the LGPL. LGPL allows closed source projects to use the code with a few caveats, like for example displaying the credits somewhere in the application, and a few other minor niggles that I can't remember well enough at the moment.
As far as the LZMA is concerned, this little bit from Wikipedia:
"The LZMA implementation extracted from 7-Zip is available as LZMA SDK. It was placed by Igor Pavlov in the public domain on December 2, 2008, with the release of version 4.62"
HTH.
