Yes, and when using 3.23.>=19 (and works based on it), the LGPL can still be used.
The MySQL units that initiated this thread, bear the following note:

Welcome to the wonderful world of mysql.pas, a unit for accessing mysql.
Note, that this unit is for mysql version 4 and above only!
So, this is MySQL 4, not the three-year old MySQL 3.23.x.
but we can never use GPL+exception
I didn't suggest to release them under GPL+exception. Someone said that "all units coming along with GNU-Pascal have this header" (theLGPL) so I cited the header of (most units of) the runtime library.
or make the Pascal interface "uncopyrighted"(*) as you suggested;
Read the thread. I said "except as needed to respect the original works".
