 Well maybe that will change soon as IBM thinks the GPL is quite
enforceable.

 And still what is the worst case scenario if you accidentally violate the
LGPL?  Unless you're a big fish I doubt it will be much more than a pointed
email demanding you change something in your readme or release some object
files.  IMO the legalese scares people into thinking it's more complex than
it really is.
