Doesn't the LGPL vs. GPL(3) issue matter only
for something that is linked into the library?
For example, build-related scripts are all LGPLv3,
and that's fine, right?  At least gnulib-tool knows
enough to allow that, since e.g., the gitlog-to-changelog
"module" specifies that it is a GPL'd build tool:

    $ grep -A1 Lic .gnulib/modules/gitlog-to-changelog
    License:
    GPLed build tool
