You can sell your app for money.  What you must do if you use LGPL'd 
libraries is to dynamically line to those libraries and provide a way 
for users to obtain source to the LGPL'd libraries.  I'm simplifying 
here; I suggest you read the license and look at some of the many 
explanations on the web, including http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html

You do not need to buy a license to Wing IDE Professional to obtain the 
source to the LGPL'd libraries shipped with Wing.

I should add that I am not a lawyer so this is not legal advice.
