Academic citation

The Lazarus and Free Pascal teams as well as external contributors have invested a lot of time and effort in creating and maintaining the software. Please cite the tools when using them for scientific purposes.

The following citing style is the result of a discussion on the Lazarus forum, which took place over several months in the beginning of 2016.
