It's not a stupid question, because it's a modified LGPL. The modification is stated in the file rtl/COPYING.FPC of the sources:

***
The source code of the Free Pascal Runtime Libraries and packages are distributed under the Library GNU General Public License (see the file COPYING) with the following modification:

- object files and libraries linked into an application may be distributed without source code.
***

The main reason is that shared linking doesn't work yet on all platforms, and is simply more or less impossible under Dos without all sorts of hacks/extenders.

Hello,
Is "modified Library GNU Public License" different from "GNU General Public License"? If so where i can find it?
