I like to release my libraries and tools under the BSD license, and I like to use others' permissively licensed libraries and tools in my own proprietary/commercial/closed applications.
LGPL doesn't stop that. You can still distribute your own source under your preferred BSD license. And if you link dynamically, the LGPL can't impose its requirements on your code.
The LGPL only requires that binary distributions of the derivative work have source reasonably available and that the library can be switched for another version by an end-user.
