I hope you can you read:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhySomeGPLAndNotLGPL
"Using the Lesser GPL for any particular library constitutes a retreat for 
free software. It means we partially abandon the attempt to defend the users' 
freedom, and some of the requirements to share what is built on top of 
GPL-covered software. In themselves, those are changes for the worse."
