> (L)GPL v3 (not v2) is also great if you don't want it to be integrated into business products.

Starcraft 2 has LGPLv3 libraries in it. Its hard to not see Blizzard as a business nor SC2 as a product.

I understood that was the point of LGPL over GPL; it stops the GPL licence bleeding into other areas if you are simply using a library as is.

This makes it viable to integrate LGPL libraries into commercial products.

you can use GPL in commercial products. Just follow the GPL. It's not ant-commerce. Oh, you meant "proprietary" products? The set of commercial and proprietary is not a union, it only overlaps.

It depends on how you integrate the code into your product. Please read up on the licenses to understand how they are different.
