I agree, LGPL is totally fine.

But I also believe that most devs are not comfortable with linking/packaging/dependency management, and therefore don't really know how to handle LGPL (or to say it in a more politically correct manner: "don't have time to handle it properly"). Which is obviously a pity.

> most devs are not comfortable with linking/packaging/dependency management

Using `macdeployqt`, `windowsdeployqt` and `linuxdeployqt` takes care of that in mostly one click. I used to look at other open source apps workflows to figure it out. Now, others can look at my app's workflows for a complete packaging experience for Windows, Linux, and macOS[1]. Huge credit to contributors for my OSS app for implementing and perfecting it.
