Absolutely correct.  That's what I meant by saying "However, if you
want to MODIFY the sources or link them as a library, you must be
careful and read the individual licenses."  Linking to closed source
app is allowed by LGPL, but not GPL.

AFAIK, one of the purposes of TL is to enable its use in any setting,
including commercial ones - as long as you "just execute it".
