I think this is the point: don't sell Lazarus! Sell your packages and use
them in Lazarus, or sell a plugin for Lazarus. I think if you provide a
business model for your packages AND for the developer of the IDE, they
will implement a plugin interface, so that the IDE can stay under the GPL
with the very exception of the plugin interface.

In any case if you don't want to share, Open Source and the GPL is nothing
for you. If you like to share (ideas and money and customers) then you can
make your way with GPL and Open Source!
