I need to read the LGPL and analyze it closer, but my first analysis suggests that this would work fine for me and others.
I'm using the LGPL for library code, and GPL for applications. Although a lot of noise is generated from the linking issues, the most imporant point to me is that LGPL allows you to use the library in other open source (but non-GPL-compliant) applications. Binary/commercial/proprietary software - well, I'll worry about it the day it happens. So far, nobody ever asked for a BSD license - but I'd be happy about an exception (even with modifications to the library, as long as those modifications were available).
I'll also want to evaluate LGPL v3, which I have been meaning to move to anyhow.
Please report back if you do! -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
