There are also some minor contributions by other users with bug fixes. Do we need their agreement, too?If I get a list of them then I will contact them, too.

I have just sent him a PM. Regarding ti_dic and jc99, marcov has let me know that they have not been active for some time in the forum. I have seen that jc99 has a github page, so if he doesn't reply soon I will try to contact him there. I have also found that ti_dic has a page on sourceforge. If he doesn't reply here then I will try to contact him there.I scanned through some posts and found only "sstvmaster" (I thought there were more)There are also some minor contributions by other users with bug fixes.

avra, you seem to be more experienced with licenses than I am. Is it ok when I replace the license header in the MapViewer source files by thisQuoteLicense: modified LGPL with linking exception (like RTL, FCL and LCL)

Afaik you need at least a formal specification of copyright. Copyright is inalienable in some jurisdictions, but needs to be explicitely asserted in common law ones?

Maybe also add a line referring to copying and copying.fpc "in the lazarus distribution" or so.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
