From where I sit both licenses look pretty
similar. They are still both the LGPL.
As I noted in a previous reply, the controversial difference is I
suspect the "installation information" provision in section 6 of the
GPL. That essentially means that it is a violation of the GPL/LGPL if
users don't have all of the required instructions, keys, etc. without
restriction to install a modified version of the library. That is a big
problem for iOS and other walled garden environments.
