Yes, I think you would be covered. The intention of the people who are
using LGPL in .NET is (apparently) to allow commercial applications to link
to their libraries and have a license compatible with GPL. Personally, I
share your confusion about LGPL, but I believe that the intentions of the
developers are consistent with your needs.
