Many major corporations (like, say, IBM) have no problem with LGPL. Where did you find a bunch of developers who thought it was a problem?

  It's not the developers who are afraid, it's the companies who want to use the code for free, for proprietary purpose, and redistribute it. They want to take as much as possible but don't want to give anything.

    I would rephrase to "they want to take as much as possible but don't want to give back the entire codebase using the free software".

      LGPL doesn't require to make the entire codebase free software (GPL does. It is part of the contract: get some, give some.)
