If you have a commercial use for cpphs, and feel the terms of the (L)GPL are too onerous, you have the option of distributing unmodified binaries (only, not sources) under the terms of a different licence (see LICENCE-commercial).

I think that depedencies to binaries, like cpphs, should be treated differently than depedencies to libraries, because using a (L)GPL-ed binary mostly hasn't any implications for a "commercial" user and also for the output of a (L)GPL-ed binary usually the (L)GPL doesn't apply.
