FSF is an organisation that promotes free software.

Open Source is a development model that results in better, more relevant 
and more secure software.

Whoever releases their software under the GPL or the LGPL.  There is no 
central authority that tracks or manages all GPL/LGPL software in the 
world.

No, just follow the guidelines in the (L)GPL (How to Apply These Terms 
to Your New Programs) and release your software.
