I don't see any problems with the licenses. All of those are free licenses, and the LGPL exception grants extra permissions, so it doesn't make it proprietary.

"""
Note that installing a
design-time
package is equivalent to linking to the IDE. Thus, distributing the Lazarus IDE with a GPL-incompatible design-time package (e.g. the
JEDI
packages, which are licensed under the
Mozilla Public License
) pre-installed would cause a license violation. This does not prohibit proprietary packages from being developed with Lazarus, though.
