Forget LGPL.

The LGPL Alternative
[...] an impenetrable maze of technological babble. They should not be
in a general-purpose software license.
[...]
The LGPL concedes that the GPL is a better, more appropriate license,
and it allows any licensees to convert to the GPL at their option:
You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General
Public License
[...]
The LGPL, therefore, is an anomaly ... merely directs us back to the
main event, the GPL license itself.
