Wow, this is just wrong. The L originally did stand for Library but FSF/Stallman wanted to discourage its use, so it was renamed it to Lesser.

LGPL was created to appease authors that didn't want license terms to propagate like GPL, exceptionally common with library and embedded codes. Alas, ignorant authors were also choosing LGPL simply because they were creating a library and FSF didn't like that trend. It was a completely political move to fit their agenda.

Indeed, the "L" originally stood for "Library", but the FSF declared this to be a mistake as it didn't express their intent. So I think it is fair to say that "L" was never intended to stand for "Library", although it accidentally did for some time.
