LGPL is a borderline case. On one hand, it doesn't force itself onto all of your software. On the other hand, it contains the same patent claim landmine that the GPL does and that landmine is considered to be dangerous by many lawyers (GPLv2 Section 7, LGPLv2 Section 11).
So, in practical terms, it depends on who my current client/employer/investor is. Myself, I'd rather not use any LGPLd libraries.
I just wanted to point out that downvoting what you disagree with is… well, let's just say it's not the right way to use HN.
My comment was precise, informative, in reply to a question that was asked of me, based on a number of legal opinions and more years of experience than many people here write into the "age" field on forms.
