I suppose this confusion already is ubiquitous (and miner as the "_first_name_" of the LCL *is* "Lazarus (Component Library)" ).

Of course to be absolutely  correct I should have written:

When installing "Lazarus" you usually install two completely different things at the same time:
1) the IDE
   2) the LCL library.

I also ask you kindly to stop spreading FUD.

Lazarus is the IDE and the project containing a whole bunch of
packages. Many of them use Lazarus in their names. LCL is the
most prominent.

In fairness, even though the Lazarus IDE and the LCL are installed together, you can (a) use the IDE for a non-LCL project, (b) build an LCL project using lazbuild, and (c) use the IDE for an LCL-based project. So functionally, there are distinctions.
